Parents Reaching Out grants have helped to increase parent engagement across the province by supporting a wide range of projects, such as:
- How to identify and reduce barriers to parent involvement
- How to bring many cultures together to celebrate diversity and build bridges
- How to enrich parents' skills and knowledge with resources such as a parent library, parent welcome kits, and techniques such as parent information nights
- How to help parents communicate more effectively with their children and address key issues such as bullying
- How to provide multi-language services to engage parents whose first language is not English or French
- How to create connections between parents, schools and community services
- What parents can do at home to help with their children's success at school.
These are just a few of the stories we have heard from individual schools about how Parents Reaching Out grants are helping them connect to parents in their community.
