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.

Please
know that the Parent Academy Catalogs were distributed to all schools,
and schools should have enough to distribute to all students.
