The child’s first and most important teacher is their family. Brevard Public Schools recognizes that a child’s education is a responsibility shared by the school and family. Part of the district’s plan to help each student reach their maximum potential requires families to be informed and engaged, and for schools and families to work together as knowledgeable partners.
To support this partnership, the district:
• provides a framework for building and strengthening partnerships among families and schools
• supports professional development opportunities for staff members to enhance understanding of effective families engagement strategies
Each Spring, a parent survey is distributed to gather feedback on family engagement. The results guide both school and district efforts to serve students, parents and the community. Results are shared on the Family Engagement website.

Family Engagement
• recognizes the importance of administrative leadership in setting expectations and creating a climate conducive to engagement of all familes
• supports the development, implementation and regular evaluation of a program to engage family in the decisions and practices of the school district.
Food and Nutrition Services—Fueling the Future
