The parent center’s normal job is to serve as an in between for the teachers and the parents, so they can talk to each other. The parent center helps the teachers schedule conferences with parents. Their community representatives call parents to set up appointments.

Since communication with parents is important, translators are provided within the parent center as well. The school budget funds parent education. It  gives information to parents helping them to stay involved in the students’ education.

The parent center is starting classes for parents who are inexperienced with computers. They learn  to develop computer skills and help parents utilize the Hollywood High website. The parent classes are provided by Beyond the Bell, an organization that works for LAUSD. The class is taught by a teacher from the adult school unit. The classes start Nov. 8.  They are 6 weeks long,  1 day a week on fridays for 3 hours. A total of 18 hours of experience will be given to the parents.

The parent center assists in putting on events every month. One such event is Coffee with Principal which lets parents get together and meet with teachers and talk with the principal about any issues they feel are important.
