Tennessee is ParentPowered!

Welcome educators! We’re excited to loop you into the ParentPowered experience.

ParentPowered is an evidence-based family engagement curriculum delivered via text message. A powerful extension of GELF’s K-3 Home Library program, it’s currently being offered to Tennessee families for the 2025-26 school year with support from the State of Tennessee.

ParentPowered programs offer caregivers short text messages with fun facts and easy tips custom-designed to boost student learning and strengthen family engagement. All content has been reviewed by TDOE and is aligned with Tennessee Academic Standards.

Educators can sign up to receive these messages too. In doing so, you’ll have the chance to see the tips and activities your families are receiving each week. It’s a great opportunity to create even more of a connection between home and school, giving you new ways to enhance student learning and collaborate with families.

To sign up, fill out the form on this page. While there is absolutely no cost for enrolling, data & message rates may apply for receiving 3 messages per week.

You can cancel text messages at any time by texting STOP to 70138.
