 Parent Resource Center
Henrico County Public Schools believes that a strong parent/school
partnership is an essential building block in an effective
educational program. Toward this belief, the Parent Resource
Center provides information, education, and support for parents
of students in our schools. Programs and services offered through
the Parent Resource Center will be conducted at sites throughout
Henrico County.
Staffing
The staff of the Parent Resource Center consists of parent
facilitators and educational professionals who are ready
to serve our patrons.
Workshops
Workshops are based on parent interest and requests, and
have included such topics as high school program choices,
elementary
and middle school study skills, transition from elementary
to middle school, and programs of special interest to
parents of gifted and special education students. Seminar
locations
and dates will be published in upcoming issues of School
Days. To ensure that parents are aware of these unique
learning opportunities,
all activities are also publicized on HCPS TV, the educational access channel for Henrico County.
Requests
for information
The center staff responds daily to phone and written
requests for information which might include questions
about advanced
placement, guidelines for special education, programs
for the gifted, or eligibility requirements for Head
Start.
Quite often
the center receives calls from families moving to Henrico
from other localities who want to know about special
programs in
the school system. By calling the Parent Resource Center,
materials can be checked out and sent to an area school
for parents to
pick up.

Application
K - 12 Tutor List
Only HCPS employees (e.g., instructional personnel, teaching assistants, substitute teachers) and recent HCPS retirees may be
placed on the Parent Resource Center (PRC) tutor list. The placement on the PRC tutor list does not serve as an endorsement or recommendation of the tutor. Furthermore, placement on the PRC tutor list is not an acknowledgement of the individual tutor’s qualifications or ability to tutor. The PRC tutor list is a referral document offered by the PRC for the convenience of the tutor and parent. All arrangements are between the family and the individual tutor. Henrico County Public Schools shall not be liable for damages of any nature arising from the use of this list and/or from tutoring arrangements. HCPS personnel may not tutor or instruct their own students for compensation; nor can they tutor for pay during contractual hours.
