Welcome to the Parent Information Center of NH
The Mission of the Parent Information Center is to guide and encourage families in supporting the unique learning potential of their children, including children with disabilities. The Parent Information Center is committed to the belief that:
Parents make the difference- All children can succeed given the right support
- Every child is worth our investment
- Children do best when schools and families work together in partnership
- As children grow they can take increasing ownership of their education and future
The Parent Information Center (PIC) and its various grant programs address a variety of key issues in order to help parents support their children’s success in school and in life. These issues are described in the panels below, which include links to the various programs, and to their services and resources.
The Parent Information Center is a recognized leader in building strong family-school-community partnerships in both regular and special education. Parent involvement is key in all of PIC’s programs.
