Parents and guardians play a vital role in the support of student achievement and wellbeing.
Ontario's Parents Reaching Out (PRO) grants encourage parent engagement at the local, regional and provincial levels by providing Regional Parent Involvement Committees and School Councils funding to develop programs, events or materials to support parents in their school communities.
Each year, the school councils of publicly-funded schools in Ontario are encouraged to identify potential project opportunities and apply for grants to support school-based initiatives focused on engaging parents in the education system. Examples of projects include:
- Fun and interactive Math nights;
- Mental Health Information nights;
- Social Media and Being Safe presentations;
- DrumFit; and more.
