Norfolk’s schools educate approximately 33,000 students every day, from pre-kindergarten through grade 12 and post-graduate programs for eligible students.
Norfolk Public Schools is on a mission to ensure that all students will be able to develop their individual potential, maximize skills for lifelong learning, and successfully contribute to a global society.
We believe Norfolk Public Schools is the cornerstone of a proudly diverse community. All personnel will intentionally facilitate an environment that supports exemplary teaching and learning opportunities in every school, in every classroom, every day, for every student – no exception.
What does the Parent Resource Center Do?
WE serve Norfolk families whose children, are or may be enrolled in Norfolk Public Schools.
WE maximize support via community referrals, a library of educational resources, and a visual supports lab for developing visual and communication tools for students.
WE assist in navigating educational processes and procedures and accessing community services.
WE relay up-to-date information and training through meet-ups, workshops and training sessions for students, parents, educators, and the community.
WE teach student and parent advocacy strategies for effective communication and collaboration and to promote a positive working relationship with parents, educators, and the community.
WE believe in every child, every day, whatever it takes – no exception!
