Engaged Families and Communities

Students benefit from the creation and nurturing of collaborative family, community, and school partnerships that attend to the whole child, contribute to family well-being, and foster a supportive, consistent learning environment at home and in school. 

“I love that these events bring the families together and help build bonds across the community.”

—Connecticut Parent participating in a CTLM Literacy Night led by Literacy How
