Family Engagement Specialists (FES) help build and strengthen positive relationships with families and work collaboratively with school leaders, staff, and community organizations to develop and implement family engagement activities. They support families by guiding them through the school system, helping to build their ability to advocate for their student’s academic success, especially those who may be facing language, cultural or economic barriers. The FESs are a diverse team of professionals located in school communities most highly impacted by poverty.
We recognize the importance of supporting your child and can help you with questions or concerns that may arise during the school year.
A FES can be contacted by calling their assigned school or by calling Student, Family and School Services at 240-740-4620.
