November is Florida Parent/Guardian Involvement in Education Month
Duval County Public Schools and
Governor Crist recently signed proclamations designating November 2009 as Florida Parent/Guardian Involvement in Education Month.
These public statements recognize that family involvement in a child’s learning is critical to his/her success from preschool through college. It also declares that learning should take place not just in the classroom, but at home where family plays an active role.
Throughout this month, the DCPS Title I Success by Design Family Involvement Center, located at S. P. Livingston Elementary School, 1128 Barber Street, will provide daily family involvement activities for elementary, middle and high school families. The Family Involvement Center will also offer weekly parent/family workshops that provide strategies and tips to be used at home. Please
