CABE's Parent and Family Engagement Programs
Thrive Despite Quarantine Challenges!
|
|
During school closures due to the COVID-19 quarantine, CABE has continued to serve its districts and partners by connecting parents and families online with a variety of highly successful parent and family engagement programs.
In 2020-2021, CABE’s Parent and Family Engagement Department served over 2,400 parents and students via a variety of programs and learning opportunities that included:
- Project 2Inspire (P2i) in Northern and Southern California
- DELIGHT, a P2i National Professional Development Grant
- Support for Immigrant and Refugee Students (SIRS)
- CDE Migrant State Parent Advisory Council (SPAC) Leaders
- Cafecito con CABE, courageous parent conversations
- Plaza Comunitaria
- FAFSA with Families (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)
- FAFSA Webinars for Students
|
|
Parent participants shared that they appreciated having a safe place to connect with other parents where they could share their experiences, challenges, and successes with distance learning. Families also expressed that connecting with other parents allowed them to build their confidence and share ideas on how to better support their children and stay connected with their child’s teacher. |
|
|
CABE partner, Conejo Valley USD, quoted P2i mastery and expert level graduates in its newsletter. Here are two examples: |
|
“With the Project 2Inspire classes, I was able to learn how important it is to be involved in our children's studies so that they have a better future. I want to help other parents to get involved in their children's education, too.” —Rosa Lima
"Project 2Inspire has helped me better understand the school system and be more prepared to support my children. I want to help other parents have the same learning opportunity.”
—Nilva Mugarte

The CARPE College Access Network, a project focused on increasing the number of first-generation students who attend a 4-year university, reports, "We understand the importance of family involvement through the FAFSA and college application process. Which is why, this school year, three of our high schools have participated in CABE’s Parent Leadership Program. Our parents have expressed tremendous gratitude and are using their voices to influence systemic change at their schools. We will soon be celebrating their graduation and hope to continue building on this exciting partnership."

Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day, symbolizes the end of slavery in the United States and commemorates the reading of President Abraham Lincoln's General Order #3 on June 19, 1865, in Texas, which announced the freeing of slaves.
Last month, President Biden signed legislation making this day a federal holiday. We invite you to listen to this NPR Fresh Air Podcast, The History of Juneteenth (43 minutes)
