FAMILY ACADEMY

Together, we can accomplish anything.

We know that schools can't do it alone. Partnership with families is an essential and valuable asset that can greatly impact scholar success.

Federal Way Public Schools is proud offer Family Academy, a series of individual sessions for PK-12 families to connect with other parents, school staff, and community organizations around important topics linked to scholar success.

Each session is offered in person and virtually through Zoom, and provides a variety of theme-centered micro-workshops aligned to your needs and interests. Through authentic discussion and partnership, we hope to strengthen connections between our schools and communities, thus improving outcomes for all students. Family Academy provides the time and space for families to learn, share their perspectives, and help shape the future of education for scholars in Federal Way Public Schools! 

Registration is required for each session. Childcare, interpreter services, and a hot dinner is provided at all in person events.
