What is the Family Engagement Educators Team (F.E.E.T.)?

F.E.E.T. is a group of TCS faculty and staff from all three schools, working together with the goal of improving connections with students/families and bridging the gap between school and community. One way they do this is by getting out into the community to get to know our TCS families where they are.

This "boots on the ground" team enjoys being visible in the community with regular, good old-fashioned home visits. Student snack bags are shared, and family connections are made with each visit. Another way F.E.E.T. connects with our TCS families is by hosting district-wide events throughout the year to share valuable information, bring community resources together, and have a little family fun time in the process.

WHY IS FAMILY ENGAGEMENT IMPORTANT?

Research shows that when parents and school staff work together, students are healthier and more successful in school. TCS nourishes academic success with the understanding that it starts at home. This is visible through the work of our Family Engagement Educators Team (F.E.E.T.) does within our Tallassee community.
