The School District of Mystery Lake will be connecting with parents more. 

The district has received a grant to hire a Family Outreach Coordinator, who will work as an advocate for parents.

Superintendant Lorie Henderson says the coordinator will focus on Juniper School Wapanock School, and RD Parker:

"This person will work with the parents, they’ll work with the community, agency, and schools. And it’s to help parents build capacity in different ways to address school community needs and assets. It’s an advocate for our parents, to empower our parents to be able to work with the schools more closely".

Henderson says Mystery Lake was one of only two districts to receive the grant.
