School-Community Council Partners with Library to
Help Parents
In an effort to engage parents outside of the school day or the school setting, the School-
Community Council Social and Emotional Learning Team has partnered with the Evansville
Vanderburgh Public Library to start the Parent Opportunities Program (POP). POP offers
parents learning opportunities within each of the library branches and is open to anyone.
The pilot program will help train library staff, agency staff, EVSC staff and parents.
Although schools continually offer "tech" events for families, POP is an opportunity to reach
parents who are unable to attend those events or who are not comfortable in a school
setting.
The topic of the first POP will cover how parents can access their student's EdEase account
and the netbooks.
Upcoming POP events include:
 Tuesday, January 15, 3:30 p.m. at Central Library
 Thursday, January 24, 3:30 p.m. at McCullough Library
 Wednesday, January 30, 6 p.m. at Oaklyn Library
 Friday, February 22, 10 a.m. at North Park Library
 Wednesday, February 27, 2:30 p.m. at Stringtown Library
 Saturday, March 9, 11 a.m. at East Branch Library
 Tuesday, March 12, 4 p.m. at West Branch Library
 Wednesday, March 20, 6 p.m. at Red Bank Library
