Every student needs a school counselor who recognizes parents as trusted partners in their children's learning and success. We have SC and family resources at @OhioEngage #NSCW25 ohiofamiliesengage.osu.edu/
Students thrive when their school counselors work with families to support each student's success. That's why @OhioEngage is working with 37 SC from 19 Ohio Middle Schools to strengthen family-school partnerships in these important grades. #NSCW25

"Parents are in the dark [about their child's engagement in school] because schools rarely have in-depth discussions with families about the quality of students learning experiences." We can make this change together! brookings.edu/articles/the-d… @OhioEngage

My biggest takeaway from the @AdCouncil report on school attendance - Families of kids who are absent a lot need to hear from their child's TEACHER with KIND messages. Easy and low cost approach! Data in this report reminds us all families CARE DEEPLY for their children.
Today! @AdCouncil will dive into their latest research on family attitudes towards absences and offer tips on how to reach parents/caregivers with messaging! We'll be on the followup panel discussion. Still time to register: adcouncil-org.zoom.us/webina… #BePresentBePowerful

Ella Jenkins' music was my favorite to share with students in my early childhood classroom. Then it was my favorite to sing along to with my own children. Now, I dance to it with my grandchildren. Thank you, Ella, for your gift of music 💝 Happy Birthday! @OhioEngage
