The mission of Parent Academy is to provide parents, families and the community with the necessary tools and skills to support students academically, socially, and emotionally, while building a cornerstone to a healthier and safe community. 

Our sessions typically focus on three key pillars: 

• Student achievement- workshops provide information and strategies for parents to support their child at home
• Parent advocacy- workshops provide information and strategies to help parents advocate for their child
• Personal growth- workshops build parent confidence and provide them opportunities for personal growth
