Being a parent of a school-age child is no easy job. The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) would like to offer some help, and we’re asking you to share this information with your staff members for appropriate distribution.

Twice a month, KDE sends out an issue of ParentInfo, an e-mail newsletter with timely tips and ideas on how parents can help children succeed in school. Topics include college and career readiness, testing, school-based decision making councils, bullying, technology and more.

ParentInfo also includes links to helpful resources on the Web. Parents and statewide educators can sign up at http://education.ky.gov/FormServ/Default.aspx?ID=ParentInfo for ParentInfo e-mails.

Please encourage your staff to pass this free subscription opportunity along to parents in your district. Also, feel free to link the ParentInfo sign-up page on your district website, Facebook page or any other service you use for communication purposes.

For questions regarding this, contact Susan Riddell at (502) 564-2000, ext. 4621.
