Parent Leadership Academy

    Parent Leadership Academy

    Supporting parents and caregivers as they gain and improve their skills to assist Washington students
    in becoming 21st Century leaders.

    Mission
    Our primary goal is to assist parents further develop their leadership and planning skills to encourage
    more active and in depth parent participation in our schools and communities. We desire to strengthen
    the relationship among parents, communities and teachers to support and nurture higher academic
    achievement and life long skills among our children.

    Parent and caregivers play an important role in the social, emotional and academic success of their
    children.  Working together the parents and School District can build a strong alliance that will
    encourage greater success in all area of our communities.

    It is our understanding that all children, as social beings, are capable of learning and practicing social
    skills and behaviors. In a world of shrinking social space and expanding social complexity with multi
    cultural expectations, it is imperative that families be given explicit training I the basic human relations
    principles and common cultural concepts.

    The Parent Leadership Academy welcomes parents, caregivers, and all who represent children in
    the Washington School district.
