Family Resource Advocates
Our district uses Title I funds to support a Family Resource Advocate at each Title I school.
The Family Resource Advocate acts as a liaison between the school district staff, families, and community to assist and encourage parent and community involvement in their students’ education. Although the Family Resource Advocate speaks and writes Spanish, s/he works with families from all cultures and backgrounds.
The role of the Family Resource Advocate is to:
-
Work toward developing good public relations with the parents, school, and community
-
Provide an enthusiastic and positive learning climate that promotes appropriate behavior and successful learning and progress
-
Interact positively with students, colleagues, parents, and patrons of the school district.
-
Promote appreciation for cultural and racial diversity among students
Here are some of the things that the Family Resource Advocate can do to help you:
- Translate for you in the school office or with your child’s teacher
- Help you understand school rules and policies
- Answer your questions (in person or by phone) about our school
- Arrange parent events to help you get to know other parents
- Help you understand requirements such as state testing and preparing for middle school, high school, and graduation
- Assist you with other similar things that may come up during the school year
