All Parents are invited to attend the Parent Academy! All Parent Academy courses are offered free of charge,
and in three strands: Student Achievement, Parenting & Advocacy, and
Personal & Individual Growth.
Courses cover a multitude of topics, including Co-Parenting, Effective
Discipline, and Resolving Conflict (among other topics). Over 100 courses are offered this spring
semester, and these courses are an excellent resource to support the caregivers
with which you come in contact. The
Parent Academy is for all community members, so refer parents, cousins, aunts,
uncles, church members, etc. to take advantage of these free courses that will
further enhance their ability to support child(ren). In addition to traditional course-offerings,
there's also the "Circle of Parents," which is a support group of
parents that meets monthly to discuss parental concerns. Parent Academy courses
are found at www.duvalschools.org/ParentAcademy. Further questions about the Parent Academy
can be sent to ParentAcademy@duvalschools.org
