       The Bruce Vento Family Center strives to build relationships with families while creating a bridge between school and home.  The Family Center is located in room 1302, staff are available school days at 9 a.m.

    Our goal is to provide families with opportunities to connect with other families, gain resources, obtain educational information, and build a network for support.  Weekly we host Family Connect meetings as a way to build community and a supportive network.  Families are welcome to visit anytime, we look forward to meeting you!
