We are so very excited to share the work of the Family and Community Engagement (FACE) department with you, as it is our mission to ensure this great district is supported and shared throughout the Jacksonville community! FACE consists of the 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project (a minority-male mentoring initiative), faith-based and business partnerships, volunteer services, Tia Leathers the Parent Academy, extended day programs, driver education programs, Executive Director, community education, athletics, and JROTC programs. Family and Community Engagement Since July 2017, we have implemented the following changes to ensure we can better support the work of the district: 1. Retirement Outreach: We now have a Retired Educator and Support Team recognizing the institutional knowledge that leaves our buildings each year, and to request their involvement as volunteers in our district at least one hour each week once RETIRED EDUCATOR & SUPPORT TEAM they’ve gotten some “rest.” Twenty-two retirees signed-up to begin volunteering in this first cohort. 2. Creation of a volunteer database with streamlined functionality: While we effectively provide background screenings for our volunteers, we have not had a database of volunteers to support the district. Building on a pre-existing contract with Samaritan Technologies, the new database will also send automated email updates to volunteers to provide a more personal experience. A new online volunteer training will be the final step to the clearance process. 3. Development of a professional development component: To better support schools, the department has submitted its first professional development plan to share strategies to maximize community and family supports in boosting student achievement. We look forward to working with you as a member of Team Duval! Sincerely, Tia M. Leathers Tia Mackey Leathers Executive Director Family and Community Engagement Duval County Public Schools Every School. Every Classroom. Every Student. Every Day. 2017-2018 Family and Community Engagement FACEbook Status Update • PAGE 3 FACE Status Updates: Parent Academy Program Description: The Parent Academy (PA) is a free family resource that promotes parental involvement, enhances student achievement and supports a caregiver’s Regan Copeland personal and individual growth. PA courses are offered daily in schools, Supervisor, libraries, community centers and faith-based institutions throughout the Parent Academy community. These free courses are designed to align all stakeholders’ needs in a convenient location near their home or workplace. The 2018 Parent Climate Survey included questions regarding a number of district initiatives. Based on the 2018 Parent Survey results, 46% of the parents surveyed desire in-person courses and informational sessions based on a wide variety of topics that include, but are not limited to, student academics, parenting support, and personal growth opportunities. Implementation: • A total of 8,237 parents and caregivers participated in PA courses during the 2017-2018 school year. This marks the fifth consecutive year that PA has surpassed its participation goal. Over 99% of all attendees surveyed reported that the course was worthwhile and that they would recommend the course to another parent and 98% of attendees surveyed reported they would attend another PA course in the future. • Creation and distribution of course flyers for specific interest groups have been implemented to meet the particular needs of parents and caregivers. • In addition, the PA is working diligently to share course information, pictures, announcement, and flyers in the JAX4KIDS newsletter, which is circulated to over 200,000 community members (including each of our DCPS students to share with their families). Courses are also shared on the DCPS and PA Facebook pages, DCPS Twitter, Duval Weekly (employee e-newsletter), and Duval Digest (community e-newsletter). A PA banner is continuously posted on the district’s website, and flyers for PA engagement events are also added to the district’s homepage when applicable. Every School. Every Classroom. Every Student. Every Day. 2017-2018 Family and Community Engagement FACEbook Status Update • PAGE 4 FACE Status Updates: Parent Academy (cont.) NEW/NEXT STEPS: • The Parent Academy has requested to add a new tab to FOCUS accounts that will allow the PA team to enter course attendance by parent or caregiver in order to determine a correlation between course attendance and student progress. • In an effort to extend outreach, the PA will be adding a Twitter account to increase our social media presence. • A juvenile court judge has requested in-house PA courses to provide additional support and resources for families whose children are referred to the judiciary by the Department of Juvenile Justice. Course will begin in early September. Every School. Every Classroom. Every Student.

Strengths Launched in 2013, the Parent Academy is an established program that offers a variety of courses and family engagement events for our parents and caregivers. Ongoing support from schools and community partners who continue to host and facilitate courses demonstrates the value and appreciation for this free family resource. In addition to community support, the Parent Academy continues to exceed its annual attendance goal and with overwhelmingly positive evaluation data. The Parent Academy has continued to implement ways to ensure that the hard-to-reach parent is receiving the nformation offered via the course catalog by providing copies to government offices, faith-based organizations, libraries, and community centers. In addition, courses have been held at women’s centers, apartment complexes, post-secondary education sites, and numerous community events held throughout the city. The Parent

    Empowerment Resources Inc. 15th Annual Journey Into Womanhood Awards Celebration Warrior Women and Girls: Worth More Than Rubies Thursday, May 16, 2019 The River Club 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Welcome Warriors to the 15th Annual Journey Into Womanhood (JIW) Awards Celebration. This evening, you’ll meet our 2019 JIW program participants as well as our high school senior, who is graduating from the JIW program, with plans to attend college in the fall. We are also honoring nine warrior women who are inspired to make a difference in our community. Last summer, I reflected on how remarkable it is that we were entering our 15th year for the Awards Celebration. It was also during that time that one of beloved core volunteers was putting on her warrior gear to fight an illness. For the first time, I met a real warrior who through it all, kept a big smile on her face and a sense of humor. I also reflected on women in our community who are everyday warriors, as well as women who have supported us throughout this journey. Thus, the theme for this year’s Celebration, Warrior Women. When JIW started 15 years ago, my short-term goal was to create a summer program to fill in a gap for teen girls. JIW has exceeded my expectations. A few program accomplishments include: 38 JIW graduates Average time for a girl to participate in the program is six years Awarded $25,000 in scholarships 75% of JIW alumnae return to give their time or treasure Because of the generosity of individuals and community organizations, Empowerment Resources and our family of programs are making an impact in the lives of youth and families.

The distribution of students by race and gender among academy students was similar to that of non-academy students. Among the 185,414 high school students enrolled in career and professional academies, 38,209 or 20.6 percent, were reported as having earned one or more approved industry certifications going back to the 2008-09 school year.
