- When we look at the efforts that we make with the family
and community we have a model
that looks at a parent-to-parent training
where we teach our parents information
on college readiness and access.
Then they go into their communities
and they share with their neighbors,
with everybody else and in their schools
or in their community centers, at the grocery store,
in many different areas.
They go and they share about;
what does it take to be college ready,
to have that access,
to have those pre-AP courses for their children,
their AP coursework, so that they;
right now our students are in eighth grade,
so we're really focused on careers
and we're looking at preregistration for high school.
We're sharing that with our parents.
We're saying:
Go out there and find out
what your children are scheduled
to take in high school.
It's very important.
So every year there's a different area of focus
based on that grade level.
