Parent and Educator Resource Center

How can parents and educators be more involved?

Parents and family members want to help students.

Educators welcome family involvement. 

Communities In Schools of Georgia supports parents and works with educators across the state of Georgia. That’s why we created this Parent Resource Center to house a wide variety of information for parents and educators as they seek to build successful “partnerships” that benefit children in their communities.
