An incentive plan, funded by community partners, is built into San Diego Parent University to encourage parent participation.
 
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
  • Parents earn 1 "Parent Point" for each class they attend.
  • Parents receive a $20 Target Stores Gift Certificate after earning 10 "Parent Points."
  • At the end of the year, a home computer system valued at $1500 is given away in a drawing to a parent who has earned at least 10 "Parent Points." In the future we hope to have more than one computer drawing per year, depending on funding.
  • Last year, 56 parents earned 67 gift certificates and the opportunity to have their names placed in the drawing for the home computer system. Books are also given as prizes to parents to help families build home libraries.
