Join Us for a Parent Meeting

Head Start offers parents many opportunities to get involved in the Head Start program. One of these opportunities is the chance to connect with other families at the parent meeting.

These meetings will provide parents with the opportunity to help make important decisions in the program, in addition to enhancing your child’s education. Research shows there is a connection between parents involved in the child’s education and the success of the child (Newland, 2015).

Parent Meetings are one effective way to partner with parents and to get your feedback on important decisions. Here are some ways attending meetings can benefit parents:

Plan- Events, meeting, activities

Knowledge- monthly educational topics

Connections- buildrelationships

with the program, parents, community

Leadership- learn leadership skills

Socialization- interact with parents

Resources- learn community resources and services

According to the Head Start Performance Standards, programs should plan a variety of opportunities for parents to learn about the program, child development and the curriculum, local resources, have a variety of family engagement activities.

We need you to help us fulfill this task. Making these connections during the pandemic is even more meaningful to the program and the child.

Head Start Works because of your involvement.

We hope to see you on Zoom for our next parent meetings.
