	:*'''The core of the Connector Network model is 2-way home-school communication facilitated by bilingual parent Connectors''' (with the coordination help of a school-based parent liaison or staff). If willing, '''bilingual parents ("Connectors") might volunteer '''time to build relationships with immigrant families who speak their language and help get information to and from them.

	:*'''Connectors can call 3-5 other families once a month '''to share key information from the principal/school and to ask questions about any issues parents are facing. We also learned that '''face-to-face, parent-parent relationship-building''' in school social events, like our Multilingual Coffee Hour, is key even while calls home can help with initial connections and information access. Also, we're now learning that Connectors may connect perhaps most effectively to same-language parents who share their child's own grade.		:*'''Connectors can call 3-5 other families once a month '''to share key information from the principal/school and to ask questions about any issues parents are facing.
