The Edmonds School District is working to create systemic supports in our system to allow for family engagement at all levels of our system. We welcome a new program with a Family and Community Engagement Specialist at the district level, five Family Engagement Liaisons serving nine schools and two Family Resource Advocates serving two schools. Their team is strategically placed to meet the needs of our most diverse schools. 

 "Family Engagement" refers to school/family partnerships. It is the collaborative interaction between educators and families in activities that promote student learning and positive child and youth development at home, in school, and in the community, including but not limited to regular, two-way and meaningful communication between parents and school personnel; outreach to our diverse families; parent education; staff professional development; volunteering; school decision making; and advocacy. Family Engagement is a shared responsibility which is continuous from Pre-Kindergarten through grade 12 and reinforces learning that takes place in all settings.
