Family and Community Engagement

GPISD campuses that do not have an assigned Family Engagement Liaison are able to designate a professional staff member as their family engagement representative. These representatives in turn become part of the Family Engagement Action Team who receive support and guidance from the Family and Community Engagement Department.

FEAT members not only support campus family engagement initiatives but assist the Director of Family and Community Engagement with dissemination of materials and information pertaining to the district family engagement program.

What can FEAT Members do?

FEAT members are valuable resources for schools because they know a great deal about your child’s school and community. They help support campus administration with meaningful parental involvement and engagement opportunities that enhance the learning ability of children, as well as strengthening the relationship between home and school.  FEAT members also assist in promoting events and resources that benefit the overall wellbeing of our families.

What can Family Engagement Liaisons do?

Family Engagement Liaisons and Specialists are valuable resources for schools because they know a great deal about your child’s school and community. They facilitate meaningful parental involvement in the school,  enhance the learning ability of children, and help parents identify and secure valuable community and educational resources. They can coordinate and implement outreach to families. They can do home visits, and coordinate and present parent workshops.

¿Qué Puede Hacer la Alianza de Comunidad?

Debido a que los enlaces de Comunidad/Padres conocen bien la escuela de sus hijos y la comunidad, son valiosos recursos para usted como representantes para facilitar una significativa participación de los padres en la escuela, para mejorar la habilidad de los niños para aprender, y ayudar a los padres a identificar valiosos y seguros recursos educativos. Ellos pueden coordinar e implementar alcance para las familias que tradicionalmente no participan. Ellos hacen visitas a los hogares, coordinan y presentan talleres para padres.
