Bring families together, right at your school.
Frankly equips school leaders, counselors, social workers and family liaisons with guides, plans and tools for different types of family gatherings at your school or district.
Three kinds of events. Pick the depth that fits.
Every event happens in person at your school and comes with a ready-to-run guide, slides and videos, so anyone on your team can lead it.
Pop-up Events
These are fun, quick, connection-based events for mixed audiences (children, teens, and adults can all attend together!) meant to support the content in and focus of each Frankly monthly domain (P.A.R.E.N.T.). They can be used as standalone family engagement events or as an add-on to a school activity such as a PTA meeting, student performance, or back to school event.
