Family and Community Engagement
Welcome!
The Edmonds School District is working to create systemic supports to enable family engagement at all levels. Our teams work at both the district and building levels to support families and increase student academic success.
What is Family Engagement?
"Family Engagement" refers to school/family partnerships. It is the collaborative interaction between educators and families in activities that promote student learning and positive child and youth development at home, in school, and in the community, including but not limited to:
- Regular, two-way, and meaningful communication between parents and school personnel
- Outreach to our diverse families;
- Parent education
- Staff professional development
- Volunteering
- Families participating in school decision-making
- Promoting advocacy for students and Families
Family Engagement is a shared responsibility that continues from Pre-Kindergarten through grade 12 and reinforces learning in all settings.
