Focus on FACE:
Connecting School and Home to Promote Strong Families, Strong Schools.

Welcome to the Focus on FACE Blog, the website accompanying the Office of Family and Community Engagement's monthly newsletter.

The Focus on FACE Blog will be updated every month with District announcements, articles on best practices for family engagement, and—most importantly—inspiring stories from parents, family members, staff, students, and community members across the School District of Philadelphia.

Do you have an idea for a story?

Are you itching to write a story of your own?

We're always looking for positive events to cover and contributors to share their unique perspectives. If you'd like to invite a FACE Team Member out to your school community to cover a story or if you'd like to tell us your own story, reach out to us at face@philasd.org.
