  • Helping students make smooth transitions from one level of school to the next, such as from middle to high school

  • Tracking and evaluating the impact of a school's family and community involvement efforts

  • Incorporating a community's cultural characteristics into school partnerships and activities

  • The conference includes a showcase social from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. on March 12.
