Family Resource Center
The Eudora Schools Family Resource Center has moved to a new location in the district this year. You can now find us at Eudora Elementary (Room 143) near the preschool/kindergarten classrooms. The Family Resource Center is available to ALL families in the community. At the Center, you will find current, useful information for parents of children of all ages. We believe that parents and schools are partners in ensuring the social, emotional and academic success of students.
Drop in and check us out, we look forward to meeting you and hope you find the center a helpful and enjoyable place to be!
