The Parent & Family Engagement Workgroup page of this site has been combined with the PEER Ambassador page. This page now hosts archives from the Parent & Family Engagement Workgroup

For current information about these two programs, please see the Parent & Family Engagement Workgroup & PEER Ambassador Program page.

Social Marketing

The Parent and Family Engagement Workgroup works to promote positive social norms among parents. You may have seen these images (which are based on data from the Coalition’s annual Student Health Survey) around town on billboards, websites, in newspapers, or in your students grade reports:

Parent Guide

Each year in September from 2009 to 2023, the Parent and Family Engagement Workgroup created a Parent Guide that was published as a supplement to the Recorder and the Athol Daily News. The Parent Guide included features on local families, articles on parenting challenges, and lists of resources for local families.

Minigrants for Parent Education

For a number of years starting in 2011, the Parent and Family Engagement Workgroup was often able to award mini-grants to support workgroup strategies in the community. Awards have gone to organizations to support research-based parent education to parents and caregivers of children age 9 through 18 years, and to fund events that encourage families to connect over shared meals.
