Dear falcon families,

My name is Girmania E. Matrillé and I am honored to introduce myself as your new Family Liaison. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve you and your family. I take this responsibility with love, honor, commitment, and excitement. I am eager to start this school-parent partnership journey with you. 

I was born in the Dominican Republic and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I started working with the Charleston County School District in diverse roles, such as Bilingual Secretary, Interpreter, Bilingual Communication Specialist, Parent Liaison and Parent Advocate from 2012 to 2021. I started working as a Family Liaison at Forest Grove Elementary school in April 2022.

As a parent, I can relate to your everyday life challenges. I want you to know that you are not alone, we are all here for you at Forest Grove Elementary School. You are our most valuable partner, and your commitment to our school is vital to your child's academic and social success.

We provide parents with assistance in technology support, language interpreter services, food, medical, school supplies, clothing resources, parenting volunteers, communication with school staff, school transition, community agency referrals and any other need or assistance you may have.

I will work fiercely to empower you to become an active participant in your child's school education and life; to help you navigate the school process, build a school-parent relationship, connect, succeed, and be proactive about your child's education path and future. 

I invite you to contact me, and to keep the communication lines open to serve you better. We want to hear from you and we need your help and involvement in our school activities.

Please stay safe and be on the lookout to receive more information about our excellent parental engagement program. Thank you for your partnership and continued support!
