• Communication & Outreach: Coordinate and ensure the distribution of multilingual communication materials (newsletters, social media updates, flyers) to keep families informed and engaged.
• Community Resources: Connect families with essential community resources through directing them to school based counselors/social workers/psychologists and/or community partnerships.

Expectations & Working Conditions

• After-Hours Availability: This position requires after-hours work, including evenings and occasional weekends, to host events and accommodate parents' work schedules.
• Willingness to meet after school in person or virtually as a family engagement team.
• Multi-Site Collaboration: You will spend some time among the four designated school family engagement coordinators and district coordinator, collaborating closely with multiple school based and district administration.
• District Alignment: You will work in close partnership with the District Family Engagement Liaison (housed at the High School) to ensure school-level events align seamlessly with district-wide goals and initiatives.
