Workshop Menu 2018-2019

The Portland Public School’s Office of School-Family Partnerships has engaged with a diverse team of educators and community members throughout Multnomah County to bring you the Parent Academy, a program offering free workshops and family learning events at schools throughout the PPS community.

After four successful years, we are seeking to work in closer partnership with school representatives and community partners to ensure greater visibility and access for families. It is also important to us that the workshops that are offered reflect the needs of your school and community.

Use the links on the left to view a menu of potential course offerings. You will find instructions included with each listing for how to bring a Parent Academy workshop to your school community. We look forward to another successful year. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Andrea Wade at (503) 916-3073.

The mission and vision for the PPS Parent Academy is to create a strong tie between parental involvement, support and communication, and school success for students by providing families with access to valuable educational resources. The goal of the Parent Academy is to connect parents and families with the training, information and support needed for them to become full partners in their children’s education.
