Parents Lead The Way For Student Success

Family involvement plays a huge part in the success of a child's education.  It takes teamwork involving parents, faculty, administrators, staff and students to get the job done.  The end result will be a student that is ready to enter the adult world with the tools they will need for a successful life.

The Kentucky Parent Information & Resource Center  is a statewide program operated by the Ohio Valley Educational Foundation with funds from the U.S. Department of Education. KYPIRC's goal is to enhance parent involvement in their children's education for the purpose of improving student academic achievement.  Click on the link above to access the most up to date monthly newsletters and calendars.
