FCSN’s Dara Sok, Leslie Leslie, Rebecca Davis, Jennifer Rose-Wood, and Ann Teng at the Convening<\/p><\/div>\n

This June, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) hosted two Family Engagement Convenings \u2014 on June 4 at Fitchburg State University and June 11 at Holyoke Community College \u2014 focused on strengthening school-family-community partnerships across the Commonwealth. FCSN was proud to play a significant role at both events.<\/p>\n

At the June 4 convening, Ann Teng, Family Engagement and Leadership Manager at FCSN, delivered the keynote address, setting the tone for a day centered on belonging, whole-child approaches, and practical strategies for improving student outcomes. Ann also led a presentation on the A.P.P.L.E. Institute, FCSN’s year-long leadership program that brings together SEPAC leaders, school administrators, and community partners to co-design meaningful change in their districts. Leslie Leslie presented on the Power of Parent Advocacy, and Dara Sok represented FCSN at an information table, connecting attendees with FCSN and MASFEC resources.<\/p>\n

At the June 11 convening in Holyoke, Pat Cameron led a presentation on the A.P.P.L.E. Institute, and Leslie Leslie staffed an information table, continuing the conversation with educators and family engagement leaders from across western Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

FCSN’s presence across both convenings reflects our deep commitment to the work DESE is advancing \u2014 and our belief that meaningful family-school partnership requires both top-down district commitment and authentic family voice at every level.<\/p>\n
