How to Support Your Child’s Learning

The research is clear: when families are active partners in their child’s learning, more students reach their full potential. Families can support their child’s education by connecting with school staff, understanding their child’s academic performance, and using specific strategies at home to reinforce learning.

RMFEC offers an interactive, five-session webinar series designed to help families better support their child’s learning this year!

Check back soon to register for the webinar series.
