The primary role of a Family and Community Liaison is to provide support and assistance to students, parents/guardians and families within the Homer School District. Liaisons focus on what students need, both within school walls and the surrounding community, to overcome any barriers they may have to success. Liaisons work to bridge gaps in communication between school and home by helping families get the information, support, and services they need to ensure their child’s academic and social potential is being met in school. Liaisons facilitate parent-school communication, community agency referrals, encourage parent and family involvement in the school, cultivate trust between parents/guardians and the school community, and foster higher academic achievement through collaboration with school personnel.
Share current and updated information on Community Resources through resource fairs, newsletters and other appropriate venues.
Help connect families to needed resources
Provide brief, short term counseling for students and families based on school support team referral
Work with the whole family unit across multiple school buildings when appropriate
Meet with families in an area that is confidential and comfortable to the family (ie. school, home, public library etc.) including outside of school hours when appropriate
Attend meetings with families as an advocate - both within the Homer School District and as appropriate throughout the community (Suspension hearings, medical appts, SPOA meetings, etc.)
Encourage, foster and problem solve towards achieving healthy school attendance
Create opportunities for educational and engaging workshops and other supportive enrichment activities for parents and families!
Our liaisons work to support students through a holistic approach with the entire family system. While each liaison is assigned to a different school building, they function as a team and will work with whole family units across buildings when appropriate. Our liaison team collaborates with one another utilizing all of their individual backgrounds and experiences to provide Homer families with the best, most comprehensive service possible.
