Parent Resource Center

Newport News Public Schools offer a Parent Educator Resource Center (PERC). Many school divisions in Virginia operate Parent Resource Centers for parents and guardians of children receiving special education services.  These centers offer training, information and assistance, free of charge.  Because they are operated by school divisions, Virginia Parent Resource Centers vary in the types of services they offer.  Typically they provide:

• Direct assistance to parents and guardians:  listening, problem-solving, providing resources; and
• Information sessions for parents, school staff and community promoting parent and professional partnerships.
