The Parent Academy

The Byram Hills Central School District's Parent Academy ​​​​​supports parents and guardians across all grade levels with knowledge, strategies, and resources that promote student growth, wellness, and achievement.

Through engaging workshops and expert-led sessions, the Parent Academy aims to:

  • Equip parents with valuable strategies to support their children’s academic and emotional development.
  • Strengthen the partnership between school and home.
  • Build a learning community where parents can share, grow, and connect.

In 2025-2026, the sessions included:

  • How children learn to read and write, with expert researcher and NYU professor, Dr. Carolyn Strom.
  • Building executive function skills, with Ms. Tanya Bosco from Innovative Designs for Education.
  • Digital wellness, with expert Ms. Sarah Gallagher Trombley.
  • Supporting kids through the college application process, with psychotherapy clinician Ms. Jennifer Schultz.

The Parent Academy seminars were made possible thanks to a grant from the Byram Hills Education Foundation. Scroll down to learn more about each presenter and topic.
