The Power of Family in Student Success

February 20, 2025

Parents, this is for you! On this month’s episode of Lunch Break With The Village we discussed how parent and caregiver engagement plays a significant role in students’ success.

Our partners at Hartford Public Schools helped us learn about:

  • The power of your involvement in your child’s success
  • Tips to help you ensure your child is prepared for school
  • School resources to help you support your child’s progress

Our guests were Jinelle Hooker, Acting Executive Director of Hartford Public Schools’s Office of Strategic Partnerships & Fund Development and Flor De Hoyos-Ayala, Director of HPS’s Welcome Center.

The Hartford Public Schools Welcome Center is a one-stop shop for families where people walk out feeling much better–more enriched, informed, and better prepared than when they walked in.
