Padres Comprometidos: Working with parents to support their children's success
Connecting parents and schools
3,400 parents support their children’s academic success. It fosters strong connections between parents
and schools, empowering Latino parents to play a leading role in their child’s educational journey.
In 2016, RYSS was applied and was awarded the NCLR Padres Comprometidos program. The first cohort of 20 RYSS parents of Primary Elite STEM Academy began the program in September, 2016. The second cohort will begin in January 2017. Parents must pre-register.
These programs are designed to reach parents who traditionally are not connected to the schools
because of:
- Liguistic and cultural reasons
- Economic background
- Negative perception schools may have about parents or vice versa
- Unfamiliarity with parent engagement in the school
The programs help parents:
- Understand the United States public school system
- Develop goals for their children to ensure they attend college
- Understand the academic requirements for college readiness
- Model behaviors at home that encourage and promote learning
Fall 2016 Cohort
