Greetings,
I am excited to welcome you to the 19-20 school year at Hunter B. Andrews PreK-8 School. Being that Andrews is a school with a Title I Program, we are able to provide additional resources for students in the areas of Language Arts/Reading and Math as well as Family Engagement! We have great things on the horizon to support student success in all grade levels.
As the Family Engagement Specialist, I am responsible for facilitating coordinating Family Engagement activities (Family Learning Nights, GROW visits/meetings, and Community Partnerships). I am housed in the Family Resource Center (Rm. A118) where we have a lending library full of games and resources to support classroom learning. Throughout the school year I will facilitate a variety of fun-filled hands on learning opportunities for our families. We would like to see an increase in family engagement and Family Learning Night attendance. You will be receiving Parent/Family Surveys throughout the year that will help guide us in activities and resources needed.
My goal for the 2019-20 school year is to continue building upon our Home-School-Community Partnerships. We will be reaching out to families to support our students by way of volunteering, making donations and connecting us to resources (businesses, social & Civic organizations), mentoring, etc.
Be on the look out for more information on upcoming activities and ways to be involved, because at Andrews we believe in ONE BAND, ONE SOUND, which means we are all in this together. Let’s make this year one to remember!
Thank you,
April Howard
Family Engagement Specialist
