Parent Teacher Home Visiting

Building Trust. Strengthening Partnerships. Supporting Student Success.

Parent Teacher Home Visiting (PTHV) is a proven family engagement strategy that brings educators and families together in the most personal setting—home. PTHV programs help create meaningful connections between schools and families that lead to stronger relationships, better communication, and improved academic outcomes for students.

PTHV

Parent Teacher Home Visits are voluntary meetings between trained educators and families that come together to share hopes, dreams, and goals for the student in a comfortable, familiar environment.
