Middle School Family Engagement

"How do I help my middle schooler?”

Looping parents into the learning is part of what elementary schools do.

But once those kids get to middle school, the role of parents gets a lot less clear. For kids, for parents, and even for schools.

Which is why we've taken the evidence-based ParentPowered approach and applied it to supporting middle school families, too. To give you the only digital family engagement tool designed to set parents of adolescents up for success.

Adolescents need their parents. And those parents need your help. Because when parents ARE engaged in middle school, the gains are tremendous.

So welcome to evidence-based Middle School Family Engagement, made easy.
