Dear Members, Partners, and Friends,
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the launch of CA-FEN’s Strategic Plan. It was an energizing moment for our network and a reminder of how far we’ve come since first coming together in 2019.
With the formal release of our plan, we now have a shared roadmap to transform family engagement from isolated practices into a statewide movement rooted in equity, coherence, and impact. This plan isn’t just a list of goals-it’s a call to action. A call to weave our collective knowledge into a stronger, more unified approach that supports every child and honors every family.
This new plan gives us a clear direction for the next few years. It reflects what we’ve heard from so many of you: that we need stronger connections across our efforts, more support for educators and families to work together, and a real commitment to making family engagement central-not optional-in California’s education system.
In this issue of CA-FEN Connect, you’ll find highlights from the launch presentation and examples of how our members are bringing this work to life every day.
We’re excited for what’s ahead and grateful to be building this with all of you.
Warmly,
Araceli Simeón
