Strategies for Family Engagement at the High School Level

May 8, 2025, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.

Do you ever find yourself perplexed about how to maximize family engagement at the high school level? Two experienced high school principals will share strategies for creating welcoming environments, designing communication, and providing opportunities for parent education and parent involvement. Participants will leave with specific ideas that they can implement at no cost immediately as well as more wide-scale activities.
