Parent liaisons are special staff members who work in your
child's school. They help you get the information and assistance
you need to support your child at home and to ensure your
child's academic success.
Why Do Schools Have Parent Liaisons?
Parent liaisons serve as a communication link between
home and school. They welcome and orient families to the
schools and familiarize the families with the school's cultures,
policies, procedures, and practices.
What Can Parent Liaisons Do?
Because parent liaisons know a great deal about your child's
school and community, they are a valuable resource for you.
They can connect you with the appropriate people within the
school or community who can help you meet you child's needs.
The parent liaisons establish and build successful working
relationships with the families of all children in the school.
They appreciate the school's cultural diversity and work
to foster unity, cohesiveness, and cooperation among all
families.
All parent liaisons are proficient in the English language;
many speak one or more additional languages.
