The future of family outreach.
In-school research-based curriculum
Android and iOS mobile apps
The Parent Parties in-school curriculum is a researched, educational, theme-based program designed to be welcoming and fun for parents. Instructions for hosting a parent party are included as well as all materials such as sign-in sheets, agendas and evaluations in both English and Spanish. Each month is a new theme and includes a “Keys for Successful Parenting” handout for parents and an entertaining original game or activity to highlight the topic.
Parent Parties ENGAGE, available in 133 languages, is the mobile app that can stand alone or compliment the Parent Parties in-school program. The app allows schools to reach parents who are unable to come to the school for family engagement events. Each month, the app provides a video and activities that cover information about the same educational topic as the in-person parent party. Parents score points for their participation and schools can choose to reward top engagement winners each month. School administrators are able to export statistics and reports quickly and customize app activities and evaluations.
“We’ve spent 30+ years working with schools and parents to develop a content plan that delivers results for parent engagement. Each month a new topic is presented for parents to explore. They will earn points as they participate in the activities.
It is our hope that Parent Parties ENGAGE will provide a new future for you to continue to reach parents and encourage them to stay engaged in their children’s education.”

Keep parents engaged
Leaderboard system, prizes, and push notifications
Parents compete monthly with other parents from each grade, or the entire school, by completing the app activities to become the top scorer of the group. You can evaluate winners and choose to recognize top scorers by providing prizes or other recognition monthly or at the end of the semester or school year.
A push notification is sent to parents every Thursday providing a weekly scorecard so parents can self-evaluate their own parent engagement efforts. It will let them see how well they are doing at getting their children to school on time, reading with their children, checking to make sure children complete their homework or other positive parenting actions.
Another push notification provides a monthly evaluation of the app theme where participants can score the video and activities provided that month, leave comments and even suggest future topics.

In-School Program
Parent Parties provides an innovative approach to present parent education and promote parent involvement through games and activities in a group setting. The creative Parent Parties research-based program provides a monthly curriculum of activities including interactive games and “Keys to Successful Parenting” information sheets. When schools implement parent parties, family engagement increases by creating a welcoming environment, lowering the barrier for involvement. As parents come back each month, relationships with the school are built and strengthened.
