PPP CENTER UPDATE

Welcome back to school!  For the first time since PPP opened a center in 1994 staff has had the summer off.  It was great to have a break, but Shelly and I are both glad to be back at work!   Shelly is designing and scheduling fall regional meetings and we will be announcing training dates around the state soon.  Please call or e-mail to:

 

• Request training at your school or in your geographic area
• Order printed resources
• Schedule on site professional development or family nights
• Ask for a coaching session with your parent involvement team

PPP has received word that the Parent Information and Resource Center federal education grant has been funded for the fifth and final year.  This will enable us to remain in place to serve you through this school year. We are, however, still dependent on funds we generate from working with schools.   We are well aware that you have less money for professional development this year.  Title I professional development and parent involvement funds may be your best sources of funding for working with PPP.   

Governor Jay Nixon in a ceremony on August 18 proclaimed September 6-10 as Parent and Family Involvement in Education Week in Missouri.  House Bill 2213 was signed into law in 2008 designating the second week in September annually as Parent and Family in Education Week.  Governor Nixon encourages all residents to observe this event through activities that will bring about an increased awareness of the importance of parent and family involvement in a child’s education.  Please let us know what opportunities and activities you have scheduled that week.
