Thank you for Joining Us! “The way schools care about children is reflected in the way schools care about the children’s families. If educators view children simply as students, they are likely to see the family as separate from the school. If educators view students as children, they are likely to see the family as partners with the school in children’s education and development.” ~ Dr. Joyce Epstein
