Welcome to the Brentsville School Community!

Parents and schools need to work together for the betterment of the students. Parents play an important role in providing support and building the confidence of their children.  The School Parent Liaison serves as a communication link between home and school. They welcome and orient families to the schools and familiarize the families with the school's culture, policies, procedures, and practices. The primary role of the School Parent Liaison is to empower parents to become active participants in the education of their children to ensure their child's academic and social success in school.

Parent liaisons help build a strong relationship between home, school, parents, teachers, students, and the school community to create a positive network of caring adults, ensure the needs of each student are met, and have the support and services needed for academic success. It can be challenging for parents to visit the school during workdays and to know what educational support and resources are available to them. We understand there may be linguistic and cultural barriers that prevent parents from being engaged, we will work together to overcome these barriers.
