The Marion County Public Schools (MCPS) Parent Partnership is a collaboration of district schools, departments, and community organizations to provide families opportunities to assist their child(ren) with strategies to be used at home and link families with community resources.

Each Parent Partnership community event is hosted by one of our seven high schools. All elementary and middle schools within each high school feeder pattern (schools that channel students into a high school) compete for a Most Participation trophy. Congratulations to the feeder pattern winners from August 27th: Belleview High, Dr. NH Jones Elementary,  Fort McCoy School, Lake Weir High, Marion Oaks Elementary, Madison Street Elementary, and South Ocala Elementary.

We believe…

• Family-school relationships should focus on student progress and success.
• Families are equal partners in achieving educational goals for students.
• Both in-school and out-of-school experiences influence students’ school performance.
• Sharing information about child behavior across settings is valued.
• Collaboration has a positive effect on student learning.
• Families should be active partners in decision-making.
• Problem-solving can be accomplished by working together.
• Family-school relationships are cultivated and sustained over time.
• All families want what is best for their children.
• All families can support their child’s learning.

Goal: Increase student achievement through building and cultivating strong family, community, and school partnerships.
