Harford County Public Schools outlines family-engagement plan and reports higher conference participation
Summary
HCPS presented a customer-service–focused family-engagement plan anchored in National PTA standards, highlighted digital tools and a new 'Trusted Path' resource, and reported that by the end of second quarter roughly 12,900 parents/guardians participated in parent–teacher conferences (about 71% participation in some measures).
Harford County Public Schools presented its family-engagement strategy at the board work session on May 5, telling trustees the district is adopting a customer-service model to help parents partner more effectively in students’ learning.
Deputy Superintendent Diane Mack and staff said the district is using the National PTA Standards for Family–School Partnerships to guide three priority areas next year: welcoming families, two-way communications and supporting student success. The office described expanded digital access to report cards, greater use of videos and social media by principals, a new community partnership portal and an Ask HCPS resource for operational questions.
