First day as a Parent Mentor

Marisol said yes to us in 2022. She was one of our first Mentors to be placed in our Intermediate building. Her partner was Mrs. Kohler. She took advantage of our "Ladders of Opportunity" that we offer. We are happy she did!

Friday Workshop

Marisol had fun during our Friday workshops

First day as a Para

About the Parent Mentor Program

Parent Mentors, help fill persistent equity gaps by volunteering in classrooms for 2 hours/day for at least 100 hours. The Parent Mentors are supported by weekly training on classroom instructional practices and leadership training. As a result, they support each other to pursue their goals and unite the school community for long-term change.
