Family engagement is defined as the percentage of students that have had at least one adult attend an event offered during the school year. In an effort to provide a greater variety of events to appeal to families, the following classifications were developed:
• Informative family engagement events focus on increasing awareness and building relationships between families and the school.
• Collaborative family engagement events focus on parents, students, and teachers contributing and participating in activities together to strengthen relationships.
• Instructive family engagement events focus on education and learning. Families may attend workshops or educational presentations.
• Interactive family engagement events feature activities that families participate in together to celebrate various occasions or holidays.
• Observation family engagement events feature parents and family members being spectators for their children’s life events.
• Empowerment family engagement events focus on parents serving in a decision-making capacity as advocates for their children and the school.
Events held at all schools as of June 20, 2018.
