 Hello families!  Mills Park Elementary has a Core Behavioral Health Team that focuses on the social and emotional well being of our students, families and staff. The Family Team of that group would like to share about Wake County Public School System’s FAMILY ACADEMY. 

.

The purpose of the Family Academy program is to provide families with the necessary academic tools to support the success of their child’s education and to bring schools, parents/guardians, families, and community organizations together as equal partners. For more information, click HERE - Family Academy. 

.

An example of a virtual session is “How to Build a Positive Relationship with Your Elementary School Child”. Here is the session’s description: Building a Positive Relationship with Your Elementary School Child It is essential for a child's emotional and social growth to have a positive relationship with his/her caregivers. Parents will learn how to build a positive relationship with their child by setting appropriate limits and following through on consequences, while showing love and support for their child.
