Gov. John Hickenlooper has designated October as Family and School Partnership in Education Month.
Congratulations to Community Foundation Trustee Richard Garcia, who spearheaded this successful declaration for the second year in a row!
The goal of this special month is to actively share information and support families and educators working together to ensure learning success for every student, from pre-school to postsecondary and workforce readiness, and including higher education.
Over forty years of research has found that specific home-school partnering improves student achievement and homework completion, school attendance, and graduation rates for students of differing cultures, languages, and abilities.
