The Prichard Committee has recognized all seven schools in Campbell County as Family Friendly Schools, highlighting their commitment to creating supportive environments for students and their families.
When we prioritize these connections with students and families, it leads to increased family involvement, which, in turn, has a positive impact on the success and well-being of our students and their families.
Our values include empathy, dignity, independence and accountability, all of which line up with the Family Friendly Certification process.
At Picadome Elementary (Fayette County), we believe a strong partnership between families and the school is essential for student success.
COVID’s impacts are still felt today, however, we have worked hard to reverse some of those impacts, including family and community engagement.
Head Start focuses on the whole child, which makes families a foundational part of their development and growth.
Since completing our family-friendly work, we have been more intentional with our family engagement practices.
