Building Stronger Connections: Understanding Title 1 and the Power of Teacher-Led Workshops at P.S. 220

At P.S. 220, we believe that true student success comes from a strong partnership between school and home. Title 1, a federally funded program, is designed to bridge the gap by providing schools with resources to support academic achievement, especially in communities where students face unique challenges. Its core purpose is to ensure every child has an equal opportunity to succeed, and parents play an essential role in this journey.

This year, we are excited to launch a series of teacher-led workshops aimed at empowering parents with tools, knowledge, and confidence to support their children’s education. These workshops, running from February through April, are more than just informational sessions—they are opportunities to build meaningful connections between families and educators. Each workshop is thoughtfully designed to address key areas of learning, from improving literacy and math skills to navigating digital platforms, exploring STEM concepts, and supporting social-emotional well-being.

What makes these workshops special is the collaborative spirit behind them. Led by our dedicated teachers, these sessions offer practical strategies that parents can easily incorporate into their daily routines. Whether it’s discovering new ways to make reading fun at home, building confidence with math problem-solving, or understanding the importance of a consistent bedtime routine, every session is crafted with care and intention.

Beyond the academic focus, these workshops also aim to create a welcoming space for parents to ask questions, share experiences, and feel connected to the school community. When parents are actively involved in their children’s education, the impact is profound—not only on academic performance but also on a child’s confidence and motivation to learn.

We know life can get busy, and schedules are often full, but we encourage every parent to join us on this journey. Together, we can create a strong foundation for our children, ensuring they feel supported both at school and at home. At P.S. 220, every parent’s voice matters, and every family’s involvement makes a difference.

Let’s make this year’s Title 1 workshops an inspiring and impactful experience for everyone. We can’t wait to see you there!
