Family Engagement in Education

No matter how little or how much time you have, you can still have a positive impact on your child's education at school and at home. We have some resources that we hope will help you become more active in you child's education. 

The Family-School Partnership Resources is compiled by the Virginia Department of Education's Family Engagement Network (FEN). You will find links to many resources available to parents. Family-School Partnership Resources

The flyer from the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) provides hints and tips on how to become involved at school.

Student Survey

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) has been charged with developing a "student perspective" survey of students enrolled in private schools for students with disabilities. The purpose of this survey is to solicit input directly from students on their experience while enrolled in a private school for students with disabilities.  As a student, your participation in this survey, as one measurement tool, will assist VDOE in collecting information necessary to ascertain a student's perspective on the programming in a private school for students with disabilities.
