Family Liaison
Our Belle View ES family liaison serves as a link between our families and our schools.
Family liaisons facilitate family-school communication, which empowers families to become more active partners in their children’s education. They work in our school and community to help families get the information and assistance they need to support their children at home and to ensure their academic success. They welcome and orient families to the school and familiarize the families with the school's culture, policies, procedures, and practices.
What Can Family Liaisons Do?
Since family liaisons know a great deal about the school and community, they are a valuable resource for families. They can connect families with the appropriate people within the school or community who can help meet children's needs.
Family liaisons establish and build successful working relationships with the families of all children in the school. They appreciate the school's cultural diversity and work to foster unity, cohesiveness, and cooperation among all families.
