Parent Center

Welcome to Topeka's Online Parent Resource Center

Topeka is committed to partnering with parents and families to support every child. We invite you to join in the effort to create innovative, creative thinkers, to build intellectual curiosity, academic excellence, and good citizenship among our students. When schools and families work together to support learning, students become more motivated to succeed in school and life.

We encourage parents to get engaged and stay Informed! Make an Impact! Any active parent participation will make each day a positive experience for our students at Topeka.

The Online Parent Resource Center is here for you. We hope to develop and foster community engagement, provide referrals to community-based services, and give you resources to parent workshops, handouts, and community events. We encourage you to explore the educational system to become better advocates for your children and we will do our best to provide support to help our students and families achieve success.

Parents, please check back regularly for parent resources in and around our community. For any Volunteer or Parent Center Information, please contact the Parent Center Director (PCD) and Community Representative at: [email protected]
