Parent Partnerships

Meaningful and lasting relationships with families are at the heart of everything we do, and the Irma Rivera Center oversees key aspects of the Academy’s related services. Through consistent communication and strong, child-centered partnerships, we support student engagement and achievement at every stage. CSA provides a welcoming environment and a variety of structured and informal ways for families to get involved. During the 24-25 school year, 116 of our families participated in parent-led volunteer or peer support programs.
