Parents as Partners was created 15 years ago as a collaborative venture between parents and key individuals within the Harborfields Central School District. Its original intent was to provide an arena for parents, administrators, psychologists, and social workers to discuss parenting topics in an informal atmosphere.

From a very small group of committed individuals came an established committee that now provides annual comprehensive workshops on relevant and applicable parenting topics to the Harborfields school community.

Since 1997, Parents as Partners' success was so noted within and outside the Harborfields Central School District that the committee has received grant monies through Suffolk County's Youth Bureau and the 16th Legislative District to continue its fine work in the school community.

Please send us an e-mail message if you are interested in registering
for one of our upcoming programs or joining the districtwide Parents as
Partners committee. If you would like to be in our database, please send us an e-mail with your first and last name, complete address, phone
number, e-mail address, and grades of your children.
