A fabulous way to increase parental engagement with your school is through parent workshops. You know your community best, so we can tailor a workshop based on what the need is.

Usually an hour in total, the workshops are usually structured to give an overview of the issue and evidence, then practical strategies to support, with time for Q&A at the end.
