MILITARY LIFE
HOW SCHOOL LIAISONS HELP STUDENTS REALIZE EDUCATION GOALS AND MORE
Parents have many questions about their children's education, and military life can create even more. If you're looking for answers to your education questions, your installation school liaison can connect you with the support you need.
The School Liaison Program offers an array of services and resources to support children, parents, installation leadership, schools and the surrounding community. By working together with these stakeholders, the School Liaison Program builds a support network to provide the best possible education experience for military-connected children and youth worldwide.
School liaisons are located at each installation and are the main contact for military families, local school systems and installation leadership for school-related matters pre-K
through 12. School liaisons are experienced professionals who advocate, advise and build partnerships with the civilian and military community to help address common education challenges of military families. School liaison support is free of charge and open to all Department of Defense identification card holders, educators who serve military students and community partners involved with pre-K-12 education.

- Transition support – for PCS moves, as well as general education transitions
