    The Office of Family Engagement (OFE) established the school-based Family Engagement Leadership Team, known as FELT. The FELT is a collective of “subject matter experts” with the shared goal of addressing needs of the school, families and community to enhance overall engagement. By establishing authentic practices of family engagement, the FELT aims to positively impact all areas of student success (academic achievement, daily attendance, behavior, and overall student well being).

    The Office of Family Engagement (OFE) team should be viewed as consultants to the FELT who assist with identifying members, roles and responsibilities as well as offering recommendations to ensure the team meets its goals with desired outcomes to support student success.
