ASK THOSE QUESTIONS YOU HAVE (or hear what other parents are asking…)
Simplifying Stevenson is a Q&A program for all parents of current 8th-grade students. The single purpose of this popular 15th-annual program hosted by KCSD96 is to give parents the opportunity to ask Stevenson students–seniors and freshmen (and SHS Principal Troy Gobble)–questions about how SHS students choose their classes and extracurricular activities, make summer school decisions, make the transition from middle school, balance the workload, and more. No preregistration/RSVP is needed and all interested adults are welcome.
Simplifying Stevenson is Mon., Jan. 22, 7–8:30 p.m., in the Twin Groves Middle School Learning Center. Arrive late/leave early as your family schedule requires.
