Programme makes school seem less daunting
The FAST program can help involve parents more in their children's education and make school seem 'less frightening'.
That's according to head of the Island's youth service, Ken Collister.
He says the Families and Schools Together, known as FAST, can encourage parents who may feel isolated to build friendships and feel more confident talking to teachers.
Ashley Hill, Henry Bloom Noble, Anagh Coar and Jurby Primary are the latest schools to take part in the scheme.
Mr Collister says it's not just the parents who benefit:
No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
Chief Minister: 'AG not out to silence debate'
