Family Connections are valuable in building respectful relationships with parents/guardians and in developing a broad understanding of every child in the program.  Each child’s family must have four Family Connections during the school year, two at home and two at school.  If a child enrolls after January 1st, a minimum of one family connection in the home in the first 45 days.  A second family connection must be conducted before the end of the program year.  

• First Family Connection should take place within the first 45 calendar days of initiation of services

  • Have a back-and-forth conversation with the family about yourself, the curriculum, the menu, and the activity record. Try to answer any questions/concerns the family may have. 

  • Second Family Connection must be completed by the provided deadline.

• Family Service Advocates (FSA) and teachers will conduct family connections at the home as a team.
