Community Connections

Building Strong Connections

Pawtucket Publics Schools aims to create stronger relationships between schools, families, and the community to foster a supportive learning environment for students. This comprehensive initiative offers various strategies, programs, and resources to engage families at different levels and empower them as active partners in the education journey. We recognize the vital role of parents, guardians, and caregivers in supporting children’s academic achievement and overall development. By building stronger connections we are ensuring a bright future for each and every student.

Parent Engagement

Engaging parents in the education process is vital for a child’s academic success. At Pawtucket Public Schools we understand the significant role that parents play in shaping their child’s learning experience. Not only does parent engagement foster positive relationships between families and our school community, but it also enhances student achievement.

At Pawtucket Public Schools, we prioritize parent engagement by offering various opportunities for involvement, such as informative workshops (BoysTown Family night flyer), interactive family nights, and access to online resources. (Resources webpage) We believe that every family has a unique perspective and valuable contributions to make, and we strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where all voices are heard.

We are currently enrolling parents for the Superintendent’s Parent Advisory Council (PAC) for more information click here. (PAC webpage)

Community Partnerships

Community partnerships are a cornerstone of our school’s commitment to providing the best educational experience for our students. At Pawtucket Public Schools, we firmly believe that collaboration with the broader community fosters an environment of mutual support, shared resources, and enriched learning opportunities.

Collaborating with local businesses and organizations allows us to access specialized knowledge, technology, and facilities that enhance the educational experience for our students. Through workshops, mentorship programs, and internship opportunities, our students have the chance to connect with professionals in various fields, expanding their network and gaining valuable insights for future career paths.

We recognize that a strong connection with the community is vital for holistic education. We encourage parents, local organizations, businesses, and community members to actively participate (interest form) in school activities, events, and initiatives (webpage where you can find flyers and images of our partners Example – Flu clinics, BoysTown family nights, Electric Boat classes, Brown Tutoring).
