- Increasing family participation in school-related activities-the Specialist will promote parent involvement in everything from Propel's Celebrations of Learning to Parent/Teacher Conferences to Literacy Nights to helping their students with homework. The Specialist will do this through phone calls, potential visits and other means. A focus will be placed on parents who typically aren't present or involved in school life. Outreach will also include creative avenues, such as having the Specialist "work the car line" at arrival or dismissal times - any opportunity to meet other parents/caregivers will help grow this peer relationship.
- Working to break the stigma families fear regarding using Propel's school-based mental health services - the Specialist would connect with PPIW school mental health staff to brainstorm on ways this parent can encourage other families to use the crucial program. For example, the Specialist might be at the PPIW table at a Family Night to share his/her experiences (if applicable), or provide a peer explanation of the importance of mental health services.
- Enhancing implementation of the Collaborative Leadership Pillar at each Propel school. The Specialist can identify new and meaningful ways that parent representatives can be utilized at Propel, and strategize on how to implement such new parent roles.
- Peer volunteer recruitment - this could increase the overall school volunteer base; or assist with concrete needs (mini-pantry help, etc.).
- Assisting in planning family events -- this might include contributing to agenda development for the School Community Council meetings that parents attend; or working with educators to plan a School Math Night for families.
- Addressing the growing food and clothing insecurity of Propel families throughincreasing our inventory of concrete needs (food for newest school mini-pantry; uniform items and winter coats across all schools
