Programs to Support Your Child's Academic Achievement and Preparation
School Smarts for elementary parents and guardians is designed to support families on how to navigate the public school system. Research tells us that two important characteristics will influence a child's long-term academic success: a parents' ability to navigate the public school system, and a parents' clear communication of high expectations of their children. These workshops are free and include childcare and a light snack. Learn more here.
Parent University for middle and high school parents and guardians is part of a college-going framework that includes increasing College Aspirations, College Knowledge, and College Planning. The middle school parent workshops are focused on College Aspirations and College Knowledge, and high school parent workshops are focused on College Knowledge and College Planning.

These parent/guardian workshops were created by the UC Berkeley Center for Educational Partnerships for the Alameda Unified School District and were tailored by the staff of the Parent Involvement & Community Engagement Program and AUSD academic counselors to meet the specific needs of their parent populations.
