What is a Family Specialist?

The NEISD Family Specialist provides support and services for students and their families, creating a true connection between home life, school life, and community life.

In collaboration with school staff, the Family Specialist provides families with information from the district, community agencies, city and state institutions, and any other organizations that might benefit those with specific needs.

The Family Specialist also facilitates and conducts parent education classes, (i.e., Family Engagement Leadership Academy), helps students and families reach maximum educational benefits, and assists those who are in emotional of financial crisis.

The Family Specialist has a knowledge of a wide range of social services that are available to meet the diverse cultural and economic needs of our students and their families.
