Parent Academy
DPSCD believes that our parents' involvement in their child's education is key to high academic performance and school improvement. The Parent Academy offers FREE and CONVENIENT classes, providing our parents with the tools and skills to build their confidence and capacity in supporting our students academically, socially, emotionally and in the overall healthy development of the entire family.
Parent Academy is centered on three pillars:
- Student Achievement: Workshops and activities that provide strategies and tools for parents to support academic achievement at home and in school.
- Personal and Professional Development: Workshops that build confidence while addressing basic needs, employment, family support, financial literacy and goal-setting for the healthy development of families.
- Parenting Advocacy: Workshops for parents and caregivers to increase their effectiveness in advocating and leading on behalf of children.
If you are interested in attending a workshop, please visit visit the Family and Community Engagement page for more information. Courses are designed for parents, caregivers, and community members. Participants are not required to have a child in DPSCD. Our parents that have DPSCD children are more than welcome to bring their children to the workshops, if appropriate. Courses listed in the catalog are subject to change. For more detailed information or assistance with registration, please call 313.873.7490 or email parent.engagement@detroitk12.org.
