Are there ways that schools can improve their efforts to engage Vietnamese families?
GGUSD has a very effective model of building parent involvement to reach parents from different opportunities. There are many elements that are part this model, includings community outreach meetings with language support in the primary language, parent communications that are translated into the primary language when appropriate, the district’s multilingual tele-parenting communication tool, community liaisons who speak Vietnamese at most schools, the district Vietnamese radio show, and a parent task force.
