Introducing our Family Outreach Liaison for 2023-24

Dear Central East High School Community,

We are thrilled to introduce Sonia Blanco as our Family Outreach Liaison for the upcoming academic year, 2023-2024. In this role, Sonia Blanco will be a dedicated resource, ensuring that every parent, guardian, and family member receives the support and assistance they need to foster a successful educational journey for their children.

Modern families often face numerous challenges that can impact a student's participation in both academic and extracurricular activities. To provide effective education to our diverse student population, fostering strong communication and collaborative relationships with parents is essential. Sonia Blanco, as our liaison, will be the catalyst for building bridges between the school, families, and the wider community.

Sonia Blanco's role encompasses several critical aspects:

- **Enhanced Communication:** S/he will facilitate open lines of communication between parents and the school, ensuring that information flows seamlessly in both directions.

- **Community Agency Referrals:** Ms. Blanco will connect families with external resources and services that can further support their needs.

- **Encouraging Family Involvement:** Encouraging and fostering active participation of parents and families in school activities to create a vibrant and supportive educational environment.

- **Building Trust:** By nurturing trust and understanding between parents and the educational community, Ms. Blanco will create an atmosphere conducive to positive collaboration.

- **Boosting Academic Achievement:** Through close collaboration with school staff, and messaging the importance of regular school attendance, Ms. Blanco will contribute to higher academic achievement by pooling resources and expertise.

Our goal at Central East High School is to empower all parents to actively engage in their child's education. We especially want to support those parents who may require assistance in navigating the educational process, feel less engaged in school activities, or simply seek clarification about their roles.

Sonia Blanco will serve as the bridge between home and school. She understands that sometimes parents might hesitate to communicate directly with teachers or administration. We value this crucial communication link, as it significantly influences a student's academic journey. Ms. Blanco will attentively listen to parents' concerns, ensuring that these concerns are shared, understood, and addressed collaboratively with the school.

We invite you to reach out to Ms. Blanco for assistance, support, or any questions you may have. Your involvement is key to your child's success, and we are here to help you be an informed and active participant in their education.

At Central East High School, our motto is "Striving to be the Best, Everyday at CEHS." Sonia Blanco embodies this spirit, and s/he is ready to support you in any way possible.
