Seattle Public Schools is hosting several workshops May 14 that will provide families with tools and information to support their children’s learning during the summer. The “Building Bridges: Workshops Connecting Families and Schools” is aimed at providing families with the information, practical strategies, and resources they need to support their students’ academic success.
Families will learn how to support their students during the summer and will be able to find information on various topics, including reading/writing, math, science, early learning, community arts, understanding school and student data, special education, advanced learning, grade-level transitions and career and technical education.
Community-based organizations will hold a resource fair with information on their summer programs. Dr. Susan Enfield, interim Superintendent, will be the keynote speaker at the conference. Light breakfast and lunch will be provided.
Interpretation services will be provided in Spanish, Somali, Vietnamese, Chinese, Tagalog, Oromo, Amharic, Tigrigna and Cambodian. For more information, contact Bernardo Ruiz, Family Engagement Manager, at (206) 252-0693.
