Family & Community Engagement

When students are healthy, feel safe, and are supported through strong systems and relationships, they are more likely to enjoy learning, develop positive social skills, and achieve greater success.

Sidney City Schools is committed to strengthening the school community through partnerships between parents, students, the school, and the community. The role of the Family & Student Engagement Coordinators is to bridge these groups together through various activities, events, and programs.

Family Buzz

Family Buzz is a partnership between families and Sidney City Schools in which parents and guardians are invited to join our community of learners. Formerly Parent University, the district is retooling the program to make it more accessible to families.

The goal of Family Buzz is to provide learning opportunities for parents to better understand ways to support their students’ academic success and personal well-being. We welcome parents and families to engage in various activities and events to explore topics related to mental health, well-being, equity and inclusion, and academics.

Family Buzz will primarily be pre-recorded video presentations and conversations by resident experts, all centered around students and families with the purpose to grow together and prepare everyone for success. There may be opportunities for some in-person presentations or virtual engagement.

Volunteer Program

United Way and the POWER women's initiative created a kindergarten tutoring program in 2014, starting with Sidney City Schools. As this program continues to grow, Sidney City Schools is taking on the coordination of the more than 25 volunteers from the community who are in the schools Monday through Thursday each week. Working with kindergarten and first-grade students currently, there are plans to expand these academic tutoring opportunities through fourth grade.
