OFFICE OF FAMILY & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Students come from many different family structures…However configured, however constrained,
families come with their children to school. Even when they do not come in person, families come in children’s minds and hearts and in their hopes and dreams. They come with the
children’s problems and promise. Without exception, [schools] have explicit and implicit contact with their student’s families
every day. Joyce Epstein
