What is a Family Liaison?

A Family Liaison is a person who works to bridge communication and strengthen relationships between school, home, and community.

How can the Family Liaison help me?

Good communication between the students' home and their school is vital for your child's academic success. The family liaison will listen to your concerns and work with you to ensure that your circumstances, questions, or feedback is communicated with the appropriate parties. They will help you if you need to find ways to overcome hurdles that may be preventing your child's success in school. They can help inform you of ways to get involved, stay informed, and access resources to help your child do their best socially and academically.

What kind of assistance can the Family Liaison provide?

Example: food, clothing referrals, free/low-cost clinics, etc.

Conferences

• At your request, they can accompany you to a parent-teacher conference, or other meetings at the school for additional support if resources are needed.
