PARENT UNIVERSITY INITIATIVE:
IMF Peniel Initiative has recently partnered with Metro Nashville Public Schools in the Parent University Initiative to offer FREE training to students' parents regarding changes effective in the 2008-2009 school year. The Peniel Initiative is a faith-based and clergy lead community resource center.
We are serving as instructors of Parent University to inform and educate students' parents regarding different facets of MNPS and assisting parents in their efforts to navigate the school system to ensure their child has the best possible experience, and the opportunity to graduate from high school with a good education that prepares them for their next level of education or the work force. The first two educational components of Parent University to be addressed are:
The new high school design and what is required to graduate from high school
We are currently contacting faith and community leaders to schedule trainings, but are making this training available to all residents of Nashville-Davidson County. Any resident interested in receiving a FREE training is encouraged to call our office at 615.712.9763.
Our goal is to reach as many parents as possible so they will be acquainted with the new school design and know what is necessary for their child to graduate from high school, particularly those who may find it difficult to access detailed information via the internet or newspaper.
