Parent/Teacher Resource Center

Our mission at the Parent/Teacher Resource Center for Chesterfield County Public Schools is to serve as a liaison between home and school. Our goal is to assist all parents to participate more fully and effectively in their children's educational development, as well as to support all teachers in gaining knowledge on diverse learners and other topics. The staff at the Center is composed of a special/regular education teacher and a parent with children receiving special and regular education services. The PTRC staff seeks to promote a culture of excellence as they support families and schools in their efforts to produce self-directed learners. The staff assists families and schools in

• building a positive working relationship between home and school;
• understand the laws and responsibilities related to educating children;
• communicate effectively for the individual needs of children and
• developing and maintaining needed supports within the community.
