Eight brightly colored pieces of paper are streamlining the way principals in the School District of Philadelphia engage families and get them on campus.
These Family Engagement School-Level Workshop Catalogs, as they’re known, offer a concise list of more than a dozen workshops that can be made available to parents at any school upon request — from lessons in why school attendance matters to using art to reinforce students’ math skills at home.
Other topics include helping with homework, transitioning to middle school, and fostering a growth mindset in children, among others.
