Bridgeport Public Schools - Parent Resources

Since 1992 the parents of Bridgeport have had an oasis for family and community development through the Bridgeport Parent Center . The Parent Center serves as a gateway, gathering place and replenishing station for Parent Engagement. The center offers parents a comfortable, friendly, and supportive environment for self-enrichment by the enhancement of life, education and employment skills.

Although grant funding is limited the Center has implemented, maintained and expanded initiatives via creative collaborations, partnerships and networks.
