Welcome To A Family Friendly Partnership School

Our Virtual Tour of a Family Friendly Partnership School combines the concepts of architecture and improvement planning for a sustained program of actions by educators and families.

  • Suggestions/ideas on how to make your school family-friendly.
  • Choices of activities that could be part of the school's comprehensive, goal-oriented school, family and community partnership program linked to student success.


Families who are involved and engaged with their children and their children’s schools can provide their children motivation to do well and achieve to their highest level¹.
