Did you know about Parent Academy?

Explorers,
Did you know that WCPSS offers great information sessions for parents to support learning? It's true! Here is information for you about Parent Academy and a link for you to follow to learn more:

What is Parent Academy?

The Parent Academy provides free workshops and educational events for Wake County Public School System parents. The Parent Academy is committed to enriching the lives of children by bringing parents and schools closer together.
We believe every family functions as a learning environment, regardless of income, family structure, or ethnic and cultural background. In this respect, every family has the potential to support and improve a child’s academic achievement. When parents have high expectations for children and encourage them to work hard, they support a child’s success.
The purpose of the Parent Academy is to provide families with strategies that have a positive effect on the education of children. We strongly encourage families to take advantage of these free educational workshops.
