Family Friendly Schools Initiative
The Family Friendly School initiative has been developed by the DeKalb County School District’s
Department of Parent and Family Engagement to help schools create and maintain a positive learning
climate. This initiative will engage families and build a positive relationship between our families and
the school. This initiative will improve student academic achievement and strengthen the family-school
partnership. It is our goal that all schools communicate “Welcome!” to students and families by creating an
environment that is friendly, inviting, and culturally sensitive.
Volunteerism
Volunteering provides opportunities for
family and community members to become
partners in education with DeKalb County
School District, by helping our students
and schools. Volunteers can strengthen
school-community relations and support
student achievement. We thank our parents
and community volunteers in advance for
supporting our school by donating their
time and talent that will contribute to the
educational experience of our students.
