The goal of the Families in Education Program of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction is to increase awareness of the need for schools to involve parents as partners in the education of their children. This Spring 1998 parents' and teachers' guide encourages school staff to reflect on how well their school or district offers opportunities for all parents to contribute or participate at some level and allows for parent discussions and networking. Articles from this issue contain information on the following topics: tips for safe "traveling" on the Internet; enhancing fathers' involvement in their children's education; obtaining the support of the business community in implementing a Family Learning Day, using Parent Quality Interviews to improve educational quality; tips for school volunteering; how Department of Education initiatives support parent involvement; using rock carvings and paintings as a family summer learning opportunity; involving families when students move to new schools; and the "Adopt a Nutrition Professional" program. Also included is a description of the types of family-community partnerships with schools, a checklist for schools on making the family-community partnership work, and a description of Wisconsin's Family-Community-School Partnership efforts.
