About City Schools

Welcome Families

The Office of Partnerships, Communications and Community Engagement helps families support their students and their schools. Baltimore City Public Schools believes that family and community engagement is essential to student success. Research documents the positive effect of parent involvement on the lives of students. Students who feel supported and encouraged by their families are more likely to be successful.

The support that each of you provides, and the interest that you show to children in your care, in your neighborhood, and in the city of Baltimore, is critical to their success, both in school, and later in life. Below are some important documents and websites relating to families.
