Empower • Engage • Connect PARENT UNIVERSITY

The mission of Parent University is to empower, engage and connect Fresno Unified families to support
student achievement. This initiative strives to sustain engagement of families by providing opportunities
for families to establish effective partnerships with teachers, support staff and site administrators. Parent
University empowers families by providing learning opportunities to support their children and become their
number one advocate. Parent University aims to connect families to District and high-quality community
resources that meet the needs of our students and families.

Parent University is based upon four strands of parent learning opportunities: Parent Education, FUSD 101,
Career Ready Graduates, and Personal Growth and Development. Each of the following strands is founded
upon the District’s Goals and Core Beliefs.

Strand 1: Parent Education This strand provides workshops and training to cover child development as a
child enters preschool through 12th grade and beyond. Topics such as creating a home environment con-
ducive to learning, discipline, and communication strategies to help families become their child’s first and
foremost teacher will be included.

Strand 2: FUSD 101 This strand is designed to connect families with the respective school sites, District
programs and services. Baseline Parent Learning Modules help students and families to understand what is
available and how to access programs and services.

Strand 3: Career Ready GraduatesThis strand provides the knowledge and resources for families to monitor,
guide, plan, and make informed decisions about their child’s education. Families learn about K-12 opportu-
nities and what it takes to transition successfully from elementary to secondary and become a career-ready
graduate.

Strand 4: Personal Growth/Development This strand includes civic engagement and leadership devel-
opment to build capacity of parents for ELAC, DELAC, SSC, CAC, Task Forces, etc. It includes parent learning

how many “empty calories”are in sugar sweetened beverages, how to choose low-calorie alternatives, and taste a healthy
beverage.

Nutrition Program: Feeding Young Children

a young child? In this interactive workshop you will learn how to use the Healthy Plate model to serve your children
healthy meals every day and taste a healthy recipe

Nutrition Program: Preventing Childhood Anemia
