Parent Engagement Tool Kit: School Board Trustees

Federation President Owen Parkhouse Dept: Federation president Owen Parkhouse helped create the Parent Engagement Tool Kit, according to CBC. The tool kit has contacts for school board trustees, principals, the education minister, as well as information about lockdown procedures, storm days, how to deal with bullying, and who to contact for complaints and the P.E.I. Home and School Federation has published a guide to the school system with hopes it will make parents more engaged in their children's education. Rocio McCallum says the guide would have been useful for her when she immigrated to Canada. It's got information on homework tips. Once your child gets to the higher grades, it has information about where they can look for scholarships and things like this, so it's from the start of school kindergarten right until your child leaves Grade 12, said Parkhouse.
