WHAT IS THE ROLE OF A PARENT LIAISON?

The parent liaison works to establish communication, relationships and maintain mutual understanding among school, community and home. The role of the parent liaison is part of a comprehensive system effort to increase the academic achievement of students and to encourage families to support schools and to lower existing barriers to parental/family participation.
