BEDFORD — North Lawrence Community Schools is inviting parents and caregivers of all NLCS students to participate in a free educational workshop designed to strengthen the partnership between home and school and provide practical strategies to help children succeed both academically and personally.
The “Preparing Our Kids for Success” program will be held Thursday, July 30, at Bedford Middle School, 1501 N Street. To accommodate different schedules, families may attend either the morning session from 10 a.m. to noon or the evening session from 4 to 6 p.m.

Participants will learn effective strategies for improving school attendance, strengthening communication between home and school, and boosting student academic performance.
Additional discussion topics will include using homework assignment sheets and online homework information systems, creating consistent structure and routines at home, recognizing signs of trauma in children, and encouraging parents to renew their hopes and goals for their children’s future.
