FAMILY ENGAGEMENT NETWORK
West40 has organized a Family Engagement Network. The purpose of the network is: to connect, to share resources, to learn from one another, to bring families to our schools to engage them in their children's education, to connect them with tangible resources, and to assist the families to have better outcomes. The Family engagement network is for School- based Parent or Family Liaisons or those who serve their schools and Communities in a similar capacity. It is also for community partners serving the West Cook County Region.
