Over the last few years, the boundaries have blurred between home and school. We no longer want to just engage with families; we want to partner with them. Our common goal is to ensure their child’s well-being and to provide a path toward lifelong success that is filled with possibilities. We welcome our special guest, Denis Parcells, principal of William C. Jack Elementary School in Glendale, Arizona, to talk with us about developing family connections and nurturing a common purpose. Denis joins the team to share his strategies for partnering with parents, building trust, and developing communication pathways to create connections that support families throughout their child's academic career.
