Family & Community Engagement (FACE)

WHAT IS FACE? 

From the WSPTA FACE Handbook...

Family And Community Engagement (FACE) is at the center of everything that PTSAs accomplish. It is not one thing a PTSA does; it is part of all things that PTSA does.

The goal of family and community engagement is for each and every child and family in a community to feel as though they are part of a PTSA family, and for that PTSA family to be an active part of the community in which it resides.

• Fosters and builds community within schools and other child-centered
  activities where all feel welcome, can contribute, can benefit, and can make a positive difference for all children.
• Builds and supports positive relationships between teachers, staff,
  administrators, families, and community partners.
• Provides an accessible support system between school and community
  resources and families.

The CEPTSA FACE committee has been actively building community by:

• Providing welcome gifts to transfer students and acknowledging their families
• Partnering with King County Library System, Carnation Branch to bring OTTER and Sasquatch Award books and materials to all 1st through 5th grade classrooms
• Fostering a partnership with Empower Youth Network to connect students and families to their services.
• Connecting and supporting the Kindness Squad with Empower Youth Network for their food drive
• Facilitating the Green Team’s efforts to minimize food waste by donating uneaten foods from lunch service to Hopelink - COMING SOON!

FACE looks forward to adding to this list while continuing to advocate for all CE students and their families. Feedback and input is always welcome.
