Parenting Resouces

In order to empower and engage our families to be involved and supported, PPPCS provides many resources to support families.

Family Resource Room

Patterson Park Public Charter School is dedicated to the involvement of our families in our students’ education. The Family Resource Room (FRR) is a place in the school set aside for our parents’ use, where parents can connect with each other, the school and the community. Families are welcome to use the FRR as a place to socialize, find support, and access community resources. The FRR is also available for families to attend workshops and adult education classes and explore ways to be involved in the school and in their children’s education. Additionally, the FRR will serve as a workspace for family volunteers and the HOPPP, for meetings, school mailings, projects, and other school-related activities.

The FRR will also host the Volunteer Coordinator who will be responsible for assigning volunteer tasks through the school day as well as tracking each families’ volunteer hours.

The FRR also offers:

  • computer and internet access
  • educational materials for loan
  • informational materials regarding parenting, child development, and educational strategies
  • notices and information about community resources and events
  • opportunities for career exploration and advancement


Hours of operation:
