| School districts are bureaucracies, and like any other bureaucracy, you and/or your child can get lost in the system. It is important that you be able to advocate for your child, and this program can provide you with the necessary information to be successful in doing so. |

Education Advocacy

| Visit the school and sit in class and monitor attendance. |
| Mind your P’s and Q’s: problems, parental role, plan for success, pupil | |
| participation, quality, question and quest. |
| On October 2, Education Advocacy hosted a workshop for parents to learn how to best advocate for their children. Four school counselors volunteered to be panel experts, answering parents' questions concerning the counselor's role at school. This was a great event, and parents are encouraged to directly speak with your child's counselor, teachers, and principal to understand your child's placement in the school system and how you can best equip them for a fulfilling educational journey. |
