Connect-A-Family

This year in an effort to increase Family Engagement, we want to help connect our families to each other through Connect-A-Family!

How it works: 

Are you new to Byrd or want to become more involved?  Partner up with a family that knows Byrd to learn more about our school, stay up to date with school initiatives and events and meet new faces.

For families familiar with Byrd, you would contact your connected family, explain upcoming events, invite them to attend school events with your family, remind them of things that are coming up and help answer questions and teach them all about being a Byrd Eagle!

 

Examples of BES Events: 

Fall and Spring Book Fair, Grandparents Day, Parent Volunteer Group/Volunteer Opportunities, BINGO Nights, Farmer’s Market, Auction…

Please email, call or text our Family Engagement Coach, Stacy Pound (804-221-2288 or spound@glnd.k12.va.us), with any questions. 

Complete this form and return it to your child’s teacher to match with another BES family!
