At Children of the Earth High School, we aim to improve student performance by providing support and encouragement to students, families, and community members.
We strive to create opportunities for all those involved in our students' education to participate in school activities, to engage in their children's education, and to access support whenever needed.
I will work towards building relationships and increasing communication between our school, parents, students, and the community.
Through opportunities for meaningful engagement with our school and staff through school activities, community events, and parent/guardian advisory groups.
Part of my role is advocating for parents and connecting families with available community resources, agencies and organizations. Such as assistance with housing, rent, food, clothing, and transportation.
