District Launches Family and Community University Website

Disponible en: Español

The University, which launched in October, offers free programming to empower and help everyone thrive.

Sessions, provided in English and Spanish, increase family and community members’ knowledge about resources and build adult students’ self-confidence to better support their children academically, socially, and emotionally.

Adult students can choose to participate in sessions offered in three different modalities — in-person, virtual, and pre-recorded — to make it convenient for all.

ACADEMIC LIFE: Workshops and activities provide strategies and tools to support academic achievement at home and school. Parents and caregivers can build and increase their effectiveness in advocating and leading on behalf of their children.
WELL-BEING AND SOCIAL INTERACTIONS: Workshops build confidence while addressing topics such as identifying and exploring hopes and dreams, stress management, conflict resolution, and developing and maintaining healthy family relationships.
COMMUNITY: Workshops are committed to teaching new skills, basic needs, employment, family support with techniques on keeping children safe, and goal-setting for the healthy development of families.
CONTINUING EDUCATION: Workshops that teach and develop new and useful skills.
