School Liaison Services

The School Liaison Officer works with Child, Youth, and School Services and the local school community to address educational issues involving military children.

Mission

• Mobilize community resources to reduce the impact of military lifestyle on school-age children.
• Implement services to help children achieve academic success.
• Provide access for parents, children, school, commanders and communities to a wide range of resources to facilitate smoother school transitions.

Vision

The School Liaison Program "levels the playing field" for military children.

Services

The School Liaison Program is designed to improve the educational environment and academics of K-12 school-age family members whose parents are assigned to Army installations and activities.

Our mission is to help parents become informed, confident advocates for their child's education, to help them deal with varying school-to-school academic curriculums, schedules and graduation requirements. We also address issues involving the development of parenting skills, school violence and bullying, and home schooling.
