The Family Institute for Student Success (FISS) is an opportunity awarded to New Bedford Public Schools by the MA Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to create a parent educational pathway to empower parents and families to feel connected to the school and to their child's educational journey.
New Bedford Public Schools has worked with the Parent Institute for Quality Education (PIQE) to bring FISS to the district as a way to educate, engage, and empower families in New Bedford. Sessions cover information related to fostering self-esteem in children, utilizing positive discipline, understanding Common Core standards, the school system, and college requirements.
