  • What is Parent University?

    Parent University helps parents and caregivers sharpen their skills and stay connected as their children grow through CMSD. Sessions provide practical information on child development, school learning, advocacy, leadership, and effective parenting.

    Our goal is to support lifelong learning by empowering families as partners in their scholar’s academic success.

    Parent University is built on four strands that help families Stand TALL:

    • Parents as Teachers

    • Parents as Advocates

    • Parents as Learners

    • Parents as Leaders
