Family and Community Engagement (FACE)

The goal of the Family and Community Engagement department is to serve as a bridge to our schools and our community by building partnerships and connecting our schools and families with the many resources our community offers.

Our work includes managing district volunteers, building and supporting community partnerships, organizing community donations and drives, supporting our school-based parent liaisons, and providing resources to school PTOs.
