Family and Community Engagement (FACE)

The Office of Family and Community Engagement (FACE) is committed to strengthening the relationships between NYC Public Schools, families, and communities for student success.

Vision

Our vision is to create a future where students achieve their full potential through the power of family-school partnerships. We believe that when family expertise and school expertise intersect, students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Together, we are shaping a brighter future. 

Mission

Our mission is to improve student outcomes through building the capacity of all stakeholders to develop meaningful partnerships between families and schools. We work collaboratively with district leaders, school leaders, family-facing staff, parent leaders, and all families to cultivate spaces that foster learning, growth, and transformation.

Our Core Principles to Engage Families as True Partners:

  1. Acknowledging Families as Partners 

  2. Fostering Safe Connected Spaces 

  3. Establishing a Culture of Shared Responsibility

  4. Building Holistic Community Partnerships 

  5. Creating a Sense of Belonging
