Family Resource Center

For all Petaluma City Schools families and adult learners


The Petaluma Family Resource Center (PFRC) is located at McDowell School and is open to all Petaluma City Schools (PCS) families and adult learners. We provide assistance and resources for those navigating economic, language, and other challenges, while celebrating the resilience and diversity of our community.

Our Mission

The PFRC serves the many low-income and vulnerable families throughout PCS. We work toward the successful community integration of parents and children into the community, and we encourage all parents' active, informed participation in school and community life. Our goal is to ensure that parents, students, and adult learners can thrive through meaningful connection, inclusion, and active participation.
