Welcome to the Parents and Family Program. We recognize the deep commitment you have to the success of your son or daughter, and this is something to which Rensselaer is also committed. Our goal is to provide parents and families with the resources and knowledge to foster your involvement so that you can, in turn, provide guidance, direction, advice and support for your students.

Throughout this site, you will be provided various opportunities to get involved in the Rensselaer Community and contribute to the educational experience of your student. It is with great hopes, that together, you and your student may experience their growth, challenges, and success together! Learn More
