The Parent Academy

The M-DCPS Parent Academy is a free, year-round, parent engagement initiative of Miami-Dade County Public Schools, helping parents become full partners in their children’s education. The goal of this program is to provide educational excellence for all of our children by informing parents about the importance of their roles, connecting families with schools and resources, and giving parents a fuller sense of their rights, responsibilities, and the educational opportunities available. In-person and virtual sessions are offered on selected topics that are aligned with caregivers’ needs. A variety of online resources are available through the Parent Academy website, including pre-recorded webinars in English, Spanish, and Haitian-Creole.
