North Thurston Public Schools (NTPS) is enhancing student success by offering a series of no-cost family education workshops designed to support parents and guardians at various developmental stages. Organized by Family Engagement Liaison Nancy Cutlip, these workshops acknowledge the complexities of parenting and aim to provide meaningful, age-appropriate resources. The 2024-2025 school year features a variety of workshops, including bilingual story times for preschoolers and virtual sessions for parents of school-aged children. Each workshop includes expert speakers, interactive components, and opportunities for families to connect and share experiences. NTPS also aims to accommodate busy schedules with both in-person and virtual options, ensuring accessibility for all families.

Regular feedback is solicited from participants to ensure the workshops meet community needs and address relevant topics. The initiative reflects NTPS's commitment to fostering a supportive environment for families, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in education. Parents are encouraged to register and learn more about these valuable resources through the NTPS website.
