Design and Implementation

The Family Resource Center (FRC) at Charter Oak Academy is a particularly important means of creating an inclusive community within the diversity of the school setting. It offers services and activities to ensure that families use their own strengths to help their children succeed in school. Activities include:

  • "Family FUNdamentals," which provide an introduction to the school culture for families who speak another language;

  • "People Empowering People" (PEP), which encourages and assists parents in becoming actively involved in their community;

  • And playgroups for children from birth to school-age to provide families with opportunities to become involved in school activities before the child begins school.
