- The mandate stated that all school districts in the state would create Parent Education programs to support parents in their role as their child’s best and first teacher.
- Since 1995, ParentSMART has grown into much more, supporting families in their role as their child’s most influential teacher.
Vision Statement
- ParentSMART empowers parents, guardians, and children to inspire lifelong learners.
Mission Statement
- ParentSMART is committed to providing leadership, educational support, and resources to collaborate with parents and guardians in their role as the child’s most influential teacher.
