“More parents are participating at parent conferences, asking focused questions about their child’s English language development, and about how their child is performing on specific tests.” – Dr. Jo Ann Isken, Assistant Superintendent of Instructional Services, Lennox School District

To promote productive partnerships, Families In Schools staff has trained nearly 1,200 school staff and over 500 parent leaders, with 92 percent reporting increased awareness, confidence, and ability to implement effective
