Parental and Community Engagement

We need to expand the Parent Information Center (PIC) access to everyone in the community. As is, the PIC web page is not easily navigable. We should create a satellite location in South Waltham to help families all over our great city get the information they need to make signing up for school and reviewing resources about the different programs easier.

There was a wonderful Kindergarten Family Resource Fair in March. But we can do more to reach parents and the community throughout the year. That way, we can have higher parental involvement in the schools and better relationships with the community.

If elected to the School Committee position, I would consider every email in any language sent to me. I would gladly liaise between family members and the people from whom they need information or assistance. Office hours or neighborhood meets may also play a role depending on the needs of our Waltham community.
