Welcome to the first AZ PIRC blog! We hope it will serve as a great resource to parents and educators alike. As PIRC representatives go out into our Arizona schools, we see many different approaches to getting families involved with education. We know that creating a family friendly school environment is a top-priority for educators wanting to develop a strong family involvement program. For this first blog, we’d like to get to know you and your school a little better. Let us know your ideas of what your school does to get parents active and involved. What are you doing to make your school family friendly?
For tips and suggestions, we highly recommend Beyond the Bake Sale:
The Essential Guide to Family-School Partnerships
by Anne Henderson and Karen L. Mapp. It provides some great resources on creating a family friendly school. If you want to know how your school’s doing, contact us to schedule a free Family Friendly Walk Through.
