Parent Resource Centers

"Come Learn & Grow with Us! "

Rockingham County Schools Parent Resource Center began in 1998 as a Title I initiative to increase parent involvement in education in Rockingham County. Believing that every parent wants to help their child to learn and accomplish as much as possible during their years of public education, resources are made available to help parents become an informed partner in meeting their child's learning needs. The Parent Center offers information and resources to help make learning interesting and fun for families. Services to families with pre-school and school-age children are available at each of our locations in Eden and Reidsville.​

Teachers can also provide referrals to the Parent Resource Center by completing the Parent Resource Center Referral Form for Teachers online.  This information will be used by the Parent Resource Center Staff to assist families by guiding them to the best materials to meet student learning needs. 

Our Mission

To provide free resources that will  help Parents to become their child's best "First Teacher"!

Resources and Programs

Literacy Resources

mClass Home Connect

This site provides resources for families to practice and reinforce important literacy skills with their children in kindergarten through second grade, who are being assessed with mCLASS reading assessments.

Literacy at Home: Digital Children's Reading Initiative

In order to provide continuing support for North Carolina’s youngest readers, The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction Office of Early Learning has developed and released “Literacy at Home.” This digital resource provides literacy activities at each grade level, pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. Families and communities may access this resource for activities that specifically target the literacy skills of phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and oral language. When children grow in each of these foundational areas they are well on their way to becoming proficient readers.

Tots-in-Training Program

Tots-N-Training is a take-home program for parents with children ages 2-5 who are not yet enrolled in Kindergarten.

Enrollment begins in September and continues through May.  Packets are ready to be picked up each month at both locations, while supplies last. *Return the reading calendar at your next pickup and choose another free book!
