What is  Family Ed.?

Family Education is a four component program that essentially tunes parents to what their children are being educated in.  It includes imperative ESL development (our adult piece), advancement in parental understanding of their child’s education, student education activities and a special parent and child interaction piece titled PACT Time.  Family Education is an encouraging program and a terrific catalyst for aiding home connections for the families served.   Family Education is funded through the Gheens Foundation and partnered with Jefferson County Public Schools.

Family Night
