Family Engagement

Join the SC Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and the SC Schools Network for the 2023-24 Connecting Communities and Schools webinar series. The series aims to enhance collaboration between schools and communities using the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model. The WSCC model is student-centered and emphasizes the role of the community in supporting the school, the connections between health and academic achievement and the importance of evidence-based school policies and practices.

This month’s Connecting Communities & Schools webinar addresses the WSCC model component: Family Engagement.

The role of parents and caregivers is a crucial protective factor for youth health and wellness. Schools are uniquely positioned to support and engage families. Join the Governor’s Council for Physical Fitness and SC Schools Network as we learn from Jack Harris, Richland One Physical Educator, and Shantal Saldaña, Erika’s Lighthouse Manager of School Outreach, on how to support family engagement.
