PARENT CONVERSATION SEPT. 19
Meet other D96 parents, ask each other questions, talk about concerns, laugh about our adventures along the parenting road. This is what happens at District 96 Parent Conversations, and you’re invited. Come when you can–leave when your schedule requires.

We’ll talk as a group about topics of interest, including our youths’ values (based on a Harvard study), and suggestions for parents regarding kids' tech use.

Join the conversation–on Tues., Sept. 19, from 9–10:15 a.m. in the Community Room on the second floor of Sunset Foods at the intersection of Rt. 83 and Aptakisic. (Near the Sunset service desk, take the steps to the second floor. Then walk through the open area and the door to the first room on your left.) Questions? Please send email to [email protected] or call 847.459.4260, ext. 8022.

LET US HEAR FROM YOU!
On Sept. 12, a crowd of District 96 parents enjoyed guest speaker Dr. Michael Maniacci’s presentation and Q&A.
Many of you asked to have him return. He’s willing, but what should he discuss?

We invite all District 96 parents to see these parent program topic suggestions and let us know your TOP 3 PARENT TOPIC PREFERENCES.
