Vision Academy Parents as Partners (VAPP)

Vision Academy Charter School is a proud member of the National Network of Partnership Schools (NNPS) at Johns Hopkins University.

The Vision Academy Parents as Partners (VAPP) is dedicated to strengthening collaboration among parents, teachers, and administrators to continually improve our school community.

Our Purpose

• Develop an annual parent engagement plan aligned with Vision Academy’s School Improvement Plan
• Promote a welcoming school climate for all families
• Conduct family engagement activities linked directly to academic and behavioral goals for students
