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.
In recognition of this observance, 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 throughout the month 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
click here to visit the Title I Success by Design Family Involvement Center Web site for a schedule of workshops and family involvement activities for the month.
You can also download the attached Parent Involvement
Pledge, in English and
Spanish, where
parents/guardians take personal responsibility in their child’s safety
and education and the safety and education of children in this community. Also
available are November 2009 calendars, in
English and
Spanish, that allows parents/guardians to make a home-school connection
that supports their child's learning. Additional activities can be found at the Florida Parental Information and Resource Center at University of South Florida (USF) Web site,
