M-DCPS Announces the Opening of Resource Centers for Parents

Miami-Dade County Public Schools’ parents will be able to access support services at two parent resource
centers that will be opening this month at Nova Southeastern University’s (NSU)
North Miami Beach and South Kendall campuses.

The parent resource centers will be housed at: NSU’s Fischler School of Education and Human Services,

M-DCPS is the nation’s first public school system to partner with a local university to utilize campus facilities,

for and with parent collaboration. Available resources will include parent-to-parent training activities,
workshops, lending libraries, support groups, and referral networks. The centers will be open
Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

An inauguration ceremony will be held at the South Parent Resource Center Kendall campus,
