Office of Partnership & Engagement

The Office of Partnerships & Student Engagement supports students, families, and schools across Manchester Public Schools by strengthening connections between home, school, and community. The office focuses on building meaningful family engagement, reducing barriers to access, and expanding opportunities for students to succeed.

Key areas of support include Family Resource Centers, parent leadership and advisory programs, early childhood engagement initiatives, student engagement services, school-based community partnerships, and centralized registration for grades K–8 through the Welcome Center.

The office works collaboratively with staff, families, and community partners to ensure every student has the support and resources needed to thrive.
