FACE University Family Learning Hub

What is FACE University?

FACE U Learning Hub provides tips, tools, and trainings to families and the greater DPS community. Why? We want to support families in engaging, advocating, and supporting their students' journey through the education system.

FACE University is funded through Title I Family Engagement. Title I provides money to schools with income-eligible students. Title I schools understand that while in-school programs can help students a great deal, nothing is as crucial to a child's success as the involvement and support of a parent. FACE University helps families be involved through parent programs, education, and advocacy.

Coming Soon: Family Leadership Badge Program

This program was created to celebrate all DPS parent/caregivers who actively support their students’ learning and takes part in school leadership opportunities.

Families earn badges based on the hours they commit, starting at one hour, a Parent Power badge at 5 hours, and advancing to a “Champion of Change" badge at 10 hours. Higher levels include features in newsletters, special certificates, and recognition on the FACE U “Wall of Fame.”

Activities that count toward badges include attending virtual or in-person events, sharing learning experiences on social media, providing testimonials, helping recruit families, and facilitating leadership programs in schools or the community.
