Family Awareness Network (FAN)

Mission/Purpose

The Family Awareness Network (FAN) provides relevant information and training to engage and support our parent community in fostering the development of thriving and resilient youth while normalizing and accepting their journey.

FAN is led by the FAN District Committee and is supported further by District 12 parents, community members and staff members who contribute their time. We work with parent-teacher organizations, volunteers, administrators, social workers and counselors to provide information and build awareness of issues faced by District 12 students. We aim to offer two or more FAN-focused learning events per school year that are open to D12 families and community members.
