Family Liaisons work collaboratively with students, adult family members, school staff and community partners to eliminate barriers that hinder student learning. Acting as intermediaries and advocates, Liaisons deliver proactive services that foster success in social, behavioral, and academic areas through intentional and effective family interactions. Liaisons assist with planning, organizing and implementing family events in their schools. They will also identify resources and services from the community to support families as needed and collaborate with school staff to support non-English speaking parents and students.

• Attend conferences and school meetings with you.

• Assist you with completing school forms.

• Explain school goals, policies, procedures and programs.

• Provide information to you about school and community resources and services.
