Family and Educator Resource Center
Welcome to the Family Resource Center
The Henrico County Public Schools Family Resource Center (FRC) works with families, schools, and the community to help ensure every student will be ready for life and a successful future. We believe that when families are supported, students can do their best in school and beyond.
We build strong relationships with families, bridge connections to school and community resources, and boost family skills and confidence. Our goal is to make sure every family feels welcome, included, and ready to help their child succeed.
The FRC offers many ways to help families, from learning opportunities to community connections. We work with schools and local partners to make sure families can get the right help at the right time.
Together, we can remove barriers, open doors, and create a stronger Henrico where every student can reach their full potential.
