    Spanish.

    and integrates parent involvement programs and activities in our parent resource center
    and with our ZOOM Reading Center and Pre-K programs in order to encourage and
    support families more fully participating in the education of their children. We have
    developed corporate partnerships with the following businesses and are thankful for the
    much needed assistance they provide to our students and teachers: Three Square Food
    Bank, Public Education Foundation, Boys & Girls Club of Southern Nevada, Verve
    Church, Sansone Companies, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern Nevada, and Wynn

    9. Open two-way communication happens between the school and our parents through
    evaluations from parenting events, surveys, Family Nights, Pastries with Parents, Parent
    Forums, and through formal and informal conversations between school and parents.
    We welcome any comments and ideas parents may have as we work together for the
    benefit of their child.
