How Parent University was developed:

 

Research has shown that parents can increase a child's academic success through their involvement with schools and communities. Parental involvement improves student morale, attitudes, and academic achievement across all subject areas.  Even if you are not a parent, we encourage you to become involved within Parent University.

  

Parent University provides an array of offerings to appeal to all families.  It features traditional class and workshop settings offered by RRGSD staff and community partners as well as unique assemblies and electronic delivery.

 

A curriculum review committee developed specfic topics and courses to be offered.  The committee includes RRGSD staff, members of the health and human services community, the public library, higher education institutions and other agencies that serve families.  The P.U.A.C. (Parent University Advisory Council) has business and community leaders to further guide the work.
