Let’s FACE It Together
The Office of Family and Community Engagement at Chicago Public Schools works to build and strengthen relationships with our parents and community partners to deepen engagement across the district. Spread across the city, our FACE team works hands-on with our district’s communities, hearing raw, uncut stories of our families and their schools. These diverse perspectives weave together to create a rich tapestry of Chicago family’s shared experiences. The Let’s FACE it Together podcast will provide a platform for elevating these stories and uplifting the voices that CPS serves.
