Application open for 2017-18 Parents Reaching Out grants
Parents are a key part of their children's learning, and of Ontario's success in education. Ontario's Parents Reaching Out grants are designed to support parents in identifying barriers to engagement in their own communities, and to find local solutions to involve more parents, guardians, and caregivers in support of student achievement and well-being.
The application period for 2017-18 Parents Reaching Out grants is now open. For more information, please visit the Ontario Ministry of Education's website. The deadline for application is May 25, 2017.
