The community workshops and expos, titled "Project Academic Ascent" , are interactive and incentivized events designed to empower parents and students with crucial, timely academic information. They are held quarterly to coincide with the start of each academic quarter and cover vital topics like adaptive testing, navigating Parent Gateway, essential skills for upcoming grades, and school registration details. The purpose is to foster informed, prepared families by strengthening community collaboration, increasing parent involvement, and boosting participant awareness of educational resources and specialized school programming, ultimately leading to improved academic outcomes.
