A Family Liaison is a LCPS staff member who acts as an advocate for all students and families within the school community. A Family Liaison connects families with the information, resources, and services they need to help with situations that may affect a student's success or a family's engagement with school. These situations can include financial hardship, illness, language or cultural differences, family dynamics, and more. There are opportunities for families to receive and/or provide assistance.

What can the Family Liaison do for me?  

The Family Liaison's primary role is to assist parents/guardian in taking an active role in their student(s) education by empowering parents to help their student by:  

• Helping parent/guardian with school communication.

• Helping with community agency referrals.

• Encouraging parent/guardian involvement in school.

• Promoting higher student achievement through positive relationships between parents/guardian and school personnel.

A Family Liaison can:  

• help you arrange meetings between you and your student(s) teachers or other staff to discuss your concerns, share information and understand your point of view.

• accompany you to these meetings to help clarify issues that may arise.  If you need an interpreter, the Family Liaison can arrange one for you to communicate with your student(s) teachers.
