One of the keys to ensuring student success in school is through parental involvement. Birney Elementary School and Northwest Exterminating partnered to develop the Literatura program; an innovative bilingual family literacy and math program. The program is designed to help all parents to be active participants in their student’s academics at home. Topics of discussion include program development, design, implementation, community, and teacher buy-in, parent engagement, and Partner In Education support. Birney Elementary School partnered with Northwest Exterminating to reimagine family engagement by creating Literatura, a bilingual family literacy program that was a drive-through format, which provided a bilingual book for every family, grade-level math, ELA, science, and Arts Integration activities, and a fun treat for students while feeding the entire family.
