Summary
The district launched an Onflow chat box, a monthly community newsletter, a parent advisory framework and a community food pantry, and plans quarterly cultural celebrations and family events to strengthen ties between schools and families.
Staff member (speaker 4) said the district has increased family and community engagement through several new tools and events. The district added an Onflow chat box to its website, began distributing a monthly community newsletter, established a framework for a parent advisory committee and launched a community food pantry.
Officials also said the district will host quarterly cultural celebrations and appreciation events to honor school diversity and culture; recent events cited included an Earth Day initiative, a mental-health conference for families, a Dr. Martin Luther King Day of Service and a back-to-school drive.
