Welcome to the Office of Family and Community Engagement Website!
What is FACE?
Family and Community Engagement (FACE) is an instructional strategy in which schools are committed to creating meaningful partnerships with families to support student academic success. FACE work is equity work: by fostering equal partnerships between parents and educators, we aim to narrow the achievement and opportunity gaps in APS. The research is resounding: when schools and families work together, students, schools, and the entire Arlington community benefit!

Arlington’s children succeed when our families, schools, and communities work together. Helping our students succeed is like working at mission control. Just like a space launch needs astronauts, scientists, and mathematicians to work together, we need schools, families, and communities to work together to help student learning take off. In a successful launch, everybody has a part to play! Find out more about our FACE work in APS.
