Parent Academy prepares local kids for success
More than 1,100 people attended this year’s Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) Parent Academy held at OCPS Academic Center for Excellence, last Saturday, May 5.
This year’s program, “Catch the Wave of Summer Success,” was so well received that an additional 4 over-flow sessions were added to accommodate the attendees.
Some of this year’s most popular sessions for adults included: “Rock the Library System,” “End the Summer Slump with STEM”, and “Keeping Kids Mentally and Emotionally Healthy.”
Class sessions for adults ranged from LifeWorks’ “Finding a Career - Not Another Job” program that provides information and training aimed at people who are underemployed to “Keeping Kids Mentally and Emotionally Healthy” and making the most of summer through the “Rock the Library System” which also includes live performances, science, animals, arts, storytelling, technology camps, and much more.
The OCPS Parent Academy is an educational resource for all families and schools. It was established to promote student success, parent growth, provide vital information and to offer opportunities for connections to school and community resources.
OCPS Parent Academy Functions:
▪ Provide classes and workshops for parents,
▪ Coordinates family learning events,
▪ Informs parents of school and community resources,
▪ Forms partnerships between families, schools and the community, and
▪ Manages the District Parent Resource Library.
