SCHOOL LIAISON PROGRAM GOALS

• Identify barriers to academic success and develop solutions

• Promote parental involvement, educate local communities and schools regarding the needs of military connected children

• Coordinate and Develop educational partnerships

• Provide students, parents, and school personnel with the tools they need to overcome education barriers.

Your School Liaison

• Serves as the primary point of contact for school related matters

• Represents, informs, and assists Command

• Assists military families with educational issues

• Coordinates with local school systems

• Forges partnerships between the military, community & schools

School Liaisons are also an initial contact for participation in the Youth Sponsorship Program which builds resilience in youth and eases transition. School Liaison support is free of charge and open to all Department of Defense identification card holders, educators who serve military students and community partners involved with pre-K-12 education.

The Purple Star School program is designed to help schools respond to the educational and socialemotional challenges military-connected children face during their transition to a new school and keep them on track to be college, workforce, and life-ready.
