3. Who am I? My name is Tabbette Blake, and I will be working with you this year. I am very excited to serve you as your school based Parent Liaison at Ft. Washington Forest Elementary. As a parent of a Prince Georges County Public School student, I believe in full participation at your child’s school. In order to achieve this goal a parent must encourage communication between the parent and the teacher. One of the roles of a parent is to fully participate in the education of their child. Remember YOU are your child’s greatest Cheerleader!
