Parent Academy Catalog

The Wake County Public Schools System is excited to announce their first Parent Academy Catalog (click here to view, Spanish version here). The catalog contains a series of free skill-building classes, workshops, and educational events aimed at helping families learn to engage with the school system and contribute positively to their child’s academic and social success.
 
The Parent Academy is a Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) initiative designed to strengthen the relationship between parents/guardians and schools and to help parents navigate the school system. Research shows that students achieve more when parents are involved in their child’s education.
 
This is a partnership with a diverse team of WCPSS educators and local community agencies, organizations, businesses, schools, and faith-based institutions.
 
To learn more about workshop options and registration information, visit www.wcpss.net/parent-academy.
 
Please know that the Parent Academy Catalogs were distributed to all schools, and schools should have enough to distribute to all students.
