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.

Parent University

Parent University is a partnership between families and Sidney City Schools in which parents and guardians are invited to join our community of learners. The goal of Parent University 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. Parent University will be a combination of workshops and presentations, all centered around students and families with the purpose to grow together and prepare everyone for success.

Parent U Events

All Parent University events will be held at Sidney Middle School in the auditeria beginning at 6:30 PM. Snacks and water will be provided and attendees will have a chance to win a raffle prize! In partnering with Sidney High School Student Government, a kids' corner arts and crafts area will be supervised by high school students, so parents can focus on the topic.

WatchDOGS

WatchDOGS (Dads Of Great Students) is a family and community engagement educational initiative with the goal of providing positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important and extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying. WatchDOGS are fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and other father-figures who volunteer for at least one day each year at an official WatchDOGS school.

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.
