Multilingual Family Engagement and Wellness

SMFCSD values the linguistic and cultural diversity that multilingual families bring to our community. We believe family engagement is essential for student success, and we are committed to building strong partnerships between families, schools, and the district.

Through our Multilingual Family Learning Ecosystem, families have access to advisory committees such as DELAC and ELAC, family workshops, community partnerships, technology support, and our Learning Library of resources. These opportunities help families stay informed, build skills, and actively support their children’s learning.

Families can engage in many ways across the district, including parent workshops, advisory committees, school events, and leadership opportunities, creating a collaborative community that supports the success and well-being of every student.
