Wait…is summer over?!
Not quite, but as summer camps wind down and back-to-school signs go up, many of the families in your ministry are already beginning to think about the fall.
The beginning of a new school year can feel like a new chapter for everyone. It’s a great time to invite parents & families to reengage at your church. One way to do that is to send parent resources every parent needs as a reminder that your church is FOR them and FOR their family.
Here are a few items to help you engage with families THIS MONTH! Plus, one inexpensive idea that can help you stay engaged with parents all year long.
5 Parent Resources to Help Start the School Year
1. A FREE Cell Phone Agreement

Many parents are more concerned about their kid’s mental health now than ever. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of resources parents can access to find the support they (and their kid) may need.
3. The FREE Parent Cue App + a Free Kit to Promote App
The Parent Cue App is a great tool to help families parent smarter, not harder.

4. A Free Devo to Start Parents’ Year Off Right
