Embracing change through partnerships.

 

Our Purpose

The NAACP Parents' Council is here to support Black and Brown families across Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS). Our goal is simple: to make sure every child has access to the best education possible.

We do this by:

  • Sharing helpful information and resources
  • Creating a welcoming space for parents to connect
  • Encouraging and motivating students and families
  • Advocating for fairness and equal opportunity in schools

 

Who Are We?

We are a community of parents, guardians, and family members who believe that when families are involved, students thrive!

  •  Our council was inspired by the 1995 and 1996 NAACP Youth Summits, where young people called for stronger family involvement in education
  •  We bring together parent representatives from schools across Montgomery County to share resources and work toward equity
  •  We partner with schools and community organizations to help families feel informed, supported, and heard

 

How Are We Organized?

Our council is made up of officers of the Montgomery County Maryland Branch NAACP and parent representatives from almost every school in Montgomery County!

  • Each school has a parent representative, selected by their principal
  • Representatives meet monthly to share updates, solve problems, and plan activities
  • Anyone interested is welcome to attend our monthly meetings

 

What Do We Do?

We work hard all year long to support students and families! Here's a snapshot of what we're up to:

 

Empowering Families

  • Provide parents and guardians with up-to-date information on important education topics
  • Host workshops and meetings to help parents become confident advocates for their children
  • Organize at least 3 meetings each school year focused on education, training, and community connection

 

Supporting Students

  • Design and run programs that give students extra academic support
  • Connect students with enrichment programs and resources to help them succeed
  • Work to close the achievement gap so all students can reach their full potential

 

Building Community

  • Collaborate with PTAs and MCPS to develop shared strategies for student success
  • Attend monthly PTA/PTSA meetings and serve on school committees
  • Reach out to families who may need extra support or guidance
  • Serve as a bridge between families and schools, making sure every voice is heard
