The Department of Family Support Services (FSS) was created to assist families needing additional guidance in navigating the complexities of this large district and accessing services. The department’s first major project is Parents Helping Parents (PHP), an outreach project created to assist parents of the most vulnerable students attending selected schools implementing the Title I Schoolwide Program. The primary goal of this initiative is to: increase meaningful parental involvement by enhancing parents’ understanding of the policies impacting their children;
perfecting their advocacy skills on behalf of their children; and learning to effectively share information and support with other parents at the school. The PHP project will be phased in at all schools implementing the Title I Schoolwide Program over a three year period. |
