Parent/Guardian participation is voluntary but is encouraged by the school district and the GEAR UP staff for parents who want to support their children as they strive to achieve academic excellence today and consider educational opportunities for the future following their graduation from high school.

Parents or guardians of GEAR UP students may:

• Complete a GEAR UP survey
• Attend GEAR UP Parent Night to:
  • learn about PHEAAmentor and financial aid
  • learn about the GEAR UP goals, activities and scholarship program
• Attend a GEAR UP Kick-Off Meeting in the fall
• Attend workshops about learning strategies to help their children succeed academically
• Participate in parent chat groups to help them feel better prepared to help their child apply to college.
