Family Engagement Project
What is the Family Engagement Project?
The Family Engagement Project provides both universal and targeted support to Wyoming school districts and child development centers around implementation of family engagement practices and activities. The intent of the project is to increase knowledge around family-school-community partnerships and their impact on student outcomes, and to support Wyoming schools and centers as they further their work building meaningful relationships with families and communities.
