Summer recess for Miami-Dade
County Public Schools begins on June
5th. What better time than summer vacation to try out new
routines and enjoy quality family time? Please visit Breezing through Summer on The
Parent Academy website for a whole raft of free family enrichment
ideas. Download reading logs, use a zip code data base to search
for parks and museums across the country, find hands-on projects
that kids and adults can do together, join a meal planning forum to
create your own online cookbook, and much more.

The launch of the School District's direct support
organization, The
Foundation for New Education
Initiatives, Inc. has been an invaluable asset to The
Parent Academy. Created by the School Board of
Miami-Dade County, Florida, The Foundation offers a way to support student
achievement and to boost community engagement by raising funds for The
Parent Academy and other M-DCPS education initiatives. To learn
more, please visit www.giveourstudentstheworld.org.

In May, The
Parent Academy convened M-DCPS administrators, teachers and parents to review the progress of The Parent Academy and discuss future
collaboration to impact positive family outcomes. This
fall, look for new classes, resources and outreach methods inspired by
our joint efforts.

To the many partners and sponsors who have made it possible
for parents to learn new skills and become more engaged in their children's
education, The Parent Academy expresses its deepest appreciation.
Thank you for all you have done to empower parents and strengthen
families. For a look back at Parent
Academy Family Learning Events in the 2008-2009 school year, please click here.
