Welcome to Family University
Empowering Parents, Strengthening Students
Family University is Lawndale Elementary School District’s commitment to partnering with families for student success. We offer a variety of workshops, training sessions, and resources designed to help parents and caregivers build skills, stay informed, and become active partners in their child’s learning journey.
From practical tools for supporting academics at home to information about health, wellness, and community services, Family University equips families with the knowledge and confidence to help every student thrive.
Through Family University, families can:
1. Learn: Access a series of educational opportunities to better understand your child’s education and how to support their learning at home.
2. Participate: Take part in parent committees where you can share your input and help shape the direction of the district.
3. Lead & Mentor: Serve in leadership and mentorship roles on parent committees, providing valuable insight about the parent experience and helping guide district decisions.
4. Serve: Volunteer your time and talents to support our schools, programs, and community events. Join us to connect with other families, learn from experts, and discover how you can make a positive impact. Visit our Volunteer Page to Learn More.

Learning Together Family Educational Videos
We understand parents and caregivers are on the go and cannot always attend meetings or webinars during school hours. You can now access webinars and workshops, meetings, resources to support your students at home and more on the LESD YouTube playlists anytime!
We will continue to add to the video collection as content becomes available. If you do not see a playlist that you would like us to start, please take a moment to tell us on the FamilyU Form - your voice matters!
