Parent Resources for Education
There are a variety of helpful resources available for parents through the CRS PTA, Churchill Road, FCPS, and the National PTA. For special needs and disabilities resources, check our Special Education page.
Online Learning Resources
Parent suggestions for various free online resources have been compiled to help our CRS families —subject areas include math, reading, science, and much more!
Parent Education and Networking
The CRS PTA organizes opportunities for Churchill Road parents to come together to explore how to better understand and support children in elementary school.
School counselors, teachers, or other relevant speakers lead discussions related to school and parenting at Parent Education and Networking events. Topics will address common academic, social, and behavioral issues.
