The effective connection between schools and families is a crucial aspect of the educational success of students. This study focused on designing and evaluating educational workshops to strengthen this link in the General Basic Education School Rotary International in Canton Mocache. The design of the workshop system was based on a thorough review of the literature on school-family bonding, as well as on the specific needs identified in the educational community. Workshops were developed that addressed topics such as effective communication, parental involvement in school activities, and strategies to support learning at home. These workshops were designed taking into account cultural diversity and variations in family expectations and values. The mixed methodology employed included exploratory surveys to teachers, as well as pre-test and post-test to 35 families and 37 students respectively, along with a validation by expert criteria. Results revealed significant improvements in school-family communication, parental involvement in school activities, and student academic achievement. These findings suggest that the designed educational workshops have a positive impact on strengthening the school-family bond, thus contributing to improve the educational quality and academic development of students.
