Community Engagement

Parent Engagement Events

Yancy will host parent/caregiver events at participating schools, mainly targeting families

of English learners, re-designate English learners, low-income students, and foster

youth. Events will include refreshments, literacy workshops, and guest speakers from

local community organizations. At each event, presenters will facilitate breakout

sessions with material from age-appropriate and reading-level proper best practices to

teach parents and caregivers strategies to use at home. Events will be conducted in

English and Spanish, depending on the school population. Campus staff will be invited

to attend all events to provide valuable campus-specific insight and information to parents

and caregivers. Quality Parent engagement helps parents feel empowered to advocate for

their child’s education.
