Miami Schools cater to a diverse student population, and recognizing the importance of parental involvement, they have developed several initiatives to strengthen connections with parents.
Key programs include:
1. The Office of Parental Involvement
2. The Parent Academy (TPA)
3. Bilingual Parent Outreach Program
4. PTA/PTSA (Parent Teacher Association/Parent Teacher Student Association)
PTA/PTSA
Every Miami School features a PTA or PTSA, which meets locally but is connected to the broader Dade County Council PTA/PTSA, part of the Florida PTA. The mission of the PTA includes:
- Supporting and advocating for children and youth in schools and communities.
- Assisting parents in acquiring skills essential for raising, protecting, and preparing their children.
- Encouraging public and parental involvement in Miami Schools.
Bilingual Parent Outreach Program
This program offers free workshops to boost involvement among families with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) and immigrant backgrounds. Recognizing language and cultural barriers, these workshops are conducted in Spanish and Haitian Creole to make parents feel more at ease while engaging in their children’s education.
The Parent Academy (TPA)
TPA provides parents a collegiate environment to learn how to support their children academically. Courses range from “The A.B.C.s of Miami Schools” to practical skills like resume writing for job applications. For those seeking further education, the academy offers accelerated programs to help parents earn degrees.
The Office of Parental Involvement
Dedicated to inspiring parents to actively participate in their children’s education, the Office recently highlighted the critical role of parental involvement in a letter from Superintendent Rudolph F. Crew and Education Fund Chairman Gary M. Pappas. They emphasized, “Parental involvement is at the heart of student achievement.”
To support this, Miami Schools and The Education Fund introduced the Parent Resource Guide. This guide offers valuable tips and information, empowering parents to advocate for their children and enhancing their success both in school and beyond graduation.
By providing these comprehensive resources, Miami Schools ensure that parents are well-equipped to play an active and impactful role in their children's education.
