On March 12th, alongside our evening spring parent-teacher conferences, we’re excited to host a Spring Parent Engagement Series featuring three distinct sessions designed to support parents in guiding their students both inside and outside the classroom. All community members are welcome to attend, even if they do not have a scheduled conference. Our goal in offering these sessions is simple: to provide families with opportunities to connect, engage, and navigate the shared challenges of raising children in an ever-evolving world. We look forward to learning and growing together on March 12th! More details about the program, including session locations and times, can be found below.
