The district will hold a series of regional family engagement events with various themes throughout the spring, beginning with a community wellness festival at McLane High School. The events support the district's board-adopted Family Goal to "Increase inclusive opportunities for families to engage in their students' education."

At the McLane event, families will learn about making better healthy food choices and students will have the opportunity to participate in fun physical activities to teach life skills and healthy habits. District and community resources will be available to support student achievement. Partners in the event are Parent University, Fresno Unified board President Veva Islas and McLane High School.

Regional family engagement events will also be held this spring at Hoover High School, Fort Miller Middle School (Fresno High School region), Edison High School, Roosevelt High School, Sunnyside High School and Bullard High School.

"I invite our families to join us for this new series of engagement events throughout our district that will provide great information and resources so they can better support their students' academic journey," said Superintendent Bob Nelson.
