Family and Community Engagement Conference:

FACEing the Future Together

 

FCCPTA, in partnership with FCPS Office of Professional Learning and Family Engagement, seeks to foster increased interaction between parents, students, educators, school administrators, education advocates, business, and community leaders to address issues vital to the academic success and well being of our children.


Family and community engagement (FACE) is at the center of everything that PTAs accomplish. The goals of family and community engagement are for each and every child and family in a community to feel as though they are part of a PTA family, and for that PTA family to be an active part of the community in which it resides.


Family and community engagement:

  • Fosters and builds community within schools and other child-centered activities where all students and their families feel welcome in the school, and families are empowered to make contributions and participate in ways that will benefit the children;

  • Builds and supports positive relationships between teachers, staff, administrators, families, and community partners;

  • Provides an accessible support system between school and community resources and families; and

  • Is proven to be essential to a child's academic success.
