Parent Partnership

The Parent Partnership Council is designed to give every family opportunities to get involved with our school through three distinct pathways: Voice, Learning, and Action.

Through Parent Pulse (Voice), parents can share feedback, provide input on school initiatives, and help shape decisions that impact students and families.

The Parent Learning Academy (Learning) offers workshops, resources, and learning opportunities that empower parents with tools and strategies to support their child's success. 

The Parent Impact Team (Action) provides hands-on opportunities to volunteer, support school events, recognize students and staff, and help foster a positive school culture.

Whether you want to share your perspective, grow alongside other parents, or make a direct impact through service, there's a place for you in the Parent Partnership Council.

Ready to get involved? Sign up for one or all three opportunities and choose the level of participation that works best for your schedule and interests.

Daniels Scholars receive:

  • Full cost of attendance covered at partner schools
