Family Literacy
The family literacy program, delivered in partnership with Quincy Public Schools, provides immigrant parents with the combination of English and parenting skills that they need to be engaged parents in a new environment. The year-long program helps parents navigate the public school system, become involved in the school, and teach their children at home. It is offered FREE to eligible parents.
-
Parenting Skills
Parents in the program learn the importance of reading with children at home, develop a stronger understanding of the US education system, and learn how to be more directly involved in their children's education.
-
English Skills
The English curriculum is designed with parents’ needs in mind: parents learn to write letters to teachers, call about absences, and ask meaningful questions about their child's performance.
-
Involvement
This program takes parents out of the classroom and into the community, from school assemblies to story time at the library to Parent Advisory Council and PTO meetings.
