The Parent Center is located in the Adult Education Center at 811 Calhoun Road.   It is open Tuesday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. during the school year.

    The Parent Center is a program designed to encourage, enrich, and support parents in their efforts to be more involved in their child's education.  Studies show that involved parents have children who have better grades and test scores in school, more completed homework, better attendance, better behavior, a more positive attitude, and better overall success in school.

    In addition to learning materials for the students, the center has learning materials for the parents that will enhance and support parenting skills.  A library of books and videos is available for checkout by parents.  Topics include positive discipline tips, teaching responsibility, setting limits, how to say "no", making time-out really work, bedtime problems, single parenting, blended families, homework without tears, strong-willed children, attention deficits, and many other.

    Conferences and workshop times will be announced, but you are welcome to come browse, check out books and videos, watch videos, and make-or-take free learning materials.

    The parent center is open to all parents who have children enrolled in the Magnolia Public Schools.  We welcome your input and questions and strive to be of service to parents with concerns about your child's education and well-being.
