SIMPLIFYING STEVENSON FOR PARENTS
Simplifying Stevenson is a Q&A program for parents of students currently in Grade 8. This popular program–which will be held virtually this year on Mon., Jan. 25, at 7 p.m.–is hosted by the KCSD96 Parent Network to give parents opportunities to ask Stevenson student panelists (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.
Parents must REGISTER HERE to receive the link to attend the virtual program
