Our School’s Family Engagement Policy requires us to collaborate with families on an ongoing basis to engage the community, accelerate student learning, build character, respect cultural diversity, and foster a collective effort to create an equitable community for all. There are many opportunities for families to be involved.
Family Academic Support and Engagement (FASE) events are district‑required, interactive quarterly workshops held in Urbana School District to strengthen student achievement by actively involving families in the learning process. These events bring students and families together to learn about academic standards, curriculum, and School Improvement Plan goals, while engaging in hands‑on learning activities they can continue at home.
Rather than functioning as traditional “sit‑and‑get” sessions, FASE events prioritize meaningful engagement, collaboration, and practical strategies. They equip families with tools and materials that support learning beyond the classroom, reinforcing the district’s commitment to consistent, district‑wide family engagement as a key driver of student success.
