PARENT INVOLVEMENT & FAMILY ENGAGEMENT

​

​

Child-Focused. Family-Centered.

At GEP, we believe that parent engagement is the cornerstone of student success. Our Child-Focused, Family-Centered approach ensures that families are active partners in their child’s academic and personal growth.
 

We offer a variety of meaningful opportunities for parents and caregivers to stay engaged, including:
 

• Monthly parent workshops

• Family engagement nights

• A GEP Parent Advisory Board at each site
   

To strengthen the home–school connection, GEP requires all parents or caregivers to volunteer or participate in at least 10 hours each school year.
 

Consistent communication is also a priority. Families receive updates through text messaging, social media platforms, and monthly newsletters to ensure they remain informed, connected, and empowered.
 

Together, we create a supportive community where students thrive.
