“Good evening everyone,
I want to take a moment to sincerely congratulate each and every one of you for completing the Parent Engagement Academy Factor Workshop Series. This is not a small accomplishment. You made the choice to invest your time, your energy, and your heart into becoming even stronger supporters of your children’s success—and that matters more than you may realize.
Balancing work, family, and daily responsibilities is already a challenge, yet you showed up, stayed committed, and followed through. That speaks volumes about your dedication and love for your children.
What you’ve gained through this experience goes beyond strategies and information. You’ve strengthened your voice as a parent, built connections, and taken meaningful steps toward creating even greater opportunities for your family.
Your children may not always say it, but they will benefit from this. They will feel your support, your growth, and your belief in them.
Tonight, we celebrate you—not just for completing this workshop series, but for the example you continue to set every single day.
Before we close, we also invite you to continue sharing your voice with us by completing the WASC Parent Survey that will be sent via email. Your feedback is incredibly important and helps us improve how we serve you and your children.
Congratulations again and thank you for your commitment to your children and our school community.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to Granada Hills Charter TK8 and Oscar for organizing the FACTOR family workshop. It has been incredibly helpful especially to working parents like us who may not always have enough time to spend with our children. As a parent, I learned how to understand the challenges my children experience in school, I learned the helpful strategies to better guide and support them in coping with difficulties, adapting to changes and preparing for a successful future.”
Maria Climaco Y Ricardo Rodriguez
“Hello, my name is Maria Climaco, and my husband is Ricardo Rodriguez. We have wonderful children: Joanna in 12th grade, Vianey in 8th grade, and Ricardo in 6th grade — all attending Granada.
It has been an honor for us to participate in these classes, which provide a comprehensive range of information, from how to strengthen our children’s confidence and well-being to how to support them in preparing for college, while also helping us grow as parents. These classes help us succeed alongside our children in life, become better individuals, and build a strong family and community — encouraging us to be humble and supportive of those in need. We would love for more parents to join these very important and valuable classes. I have always believed that every day is an opportunity to learn something new in our lives. I am very grateful to those who have given us their valuable time to provide us with more knowledge.
Thank you very much.”
