#PTHVWeek 2023!
We just wrapped the second annual National Parent Teacher Home Visits Week, a time when schools across the nation celebrate teachers and families for building relationships of trust. We launched PTHV Week in 2022 to kick off the celebration of our 25th anniversary, and the response was a resounding success, with districts sharing the stories and impact of home visits and encouraging staff and community members to participate.
This year, the tradition continued. Take a look at some of the gems that districts and supporters shared on the web and social media.
Windsor Public Schools
Windsor Public Schools honored educators Sarah Scerra, D’anna Murphy, Jessica Hickey, and Emily Vazquez exemplifying the PTHV model, fostering meaningful connections with families, building trust, and promoting student success.
Washoe County School District
Washoe County School District celebrated PTHV Week with awards and home visits. In addition, 50 of their educators signed up for PTHV training since the start of the new year.
The Washoe County School District Family-School Partnerships shared the sentiments of home visiting families to celebrate PTHV Week.
In honor of PTHV Week, Washoe County School District Superintendent Dr. Susan Enfield talks about the value of Parent Teacher Home Visits on her blog.

After a student missed the the first few days of school, the school's wellness team reached out to see how they could support her. Now she's back at school and thriving academically! #REALFamilyEngagement @dcfamengagement https://t.co/awmv7RfRYH
“By connecting with this family in person, in their home, to support mom with registration questions, we were able to immediately problem solve and ensure they were set up for success.”

“The #HomeVisit gave me a great idea of what skills my student was coming into the classroom with and, more importantly, what skills her family wanted us to focus on.”
