PARENT ENGAGEMENT
Parent Engagement
PV currently engages parents by providing parent education to ensure parents are equipped with the information and skills to be supportive and engaged with their children at home.
PV offers parent education workshops, regular student progress updates, and opportunities to provide feedback.
Parent Workshops
PV hosts a series of monthly workshops on requested topics including youth development, mental health, parent/child relationships, behavioral management, and SEL at home.
Focus groups and discussion sessions are incorporated to provide parents with opportunities to share and support each other as well as give feedback to PV staff for continuous improvement.
Weekly Office Hours
Office hours are available for parents and guardians to easily access PV staff. PV’s Parent Engagement Coordinator also engages with parents via newsletters and WeChat (social media) updates.
The Case Manager is also available to provide referrals for services to address various family needs.
