Friendship ISD launches 'campus ambassadors' to help new families navigate schools
Summary
District leaders introduced a new campus ambassador program where selected parents will be notified and paired with new families to provide peer-to-peer guidance; principals named ambassadors for each campus at the meeting.
The Friendship ISD board heard a presentation introducing a new campus-ambassador initiative designed to connect newly enrolled families with experienced parent volunteers. Staff explained the program gives new families the option to be notified and paired with a campus ambassador who can answer questions and help them navigate school processes.
Principals named ambassadors for individual campuses (examples cited at the meeting included Tara Hopgood at Bennett's and Amy Slaughter at Northridge). The district said the program grew out of strategic-plan feedback asking for a stronger small-community feeling as Friendship adds campuses.
