D49 Title I Family Engagement has created lists of useful resources (prepared by experts at the local and national level) that are responsive to the requests we most often receive from our families.
Though most of these resources are not associated or affiliated with D49, our team of experts trust they will provide direct access to useful information for our families and may provide students with better learning environments. Information shared and reposted on D49.org is not intended to constitute an endorsement or legal advice: instead, all information and content are for general informational purposes. These pages contain links to third-party websites and are consolidated for the convenience of our families in support of our strategic Big Rocks of Launching Successful Students, Building Firm Foundations, Engaging our Community and Valuing All People. The opinions and ideas expressed in these resources are those of the creators and should be fully vetted before applying them to your situation.
