Family Education Evenings (New)
A few weeks ago, emailed out a ThoughtExchange (Survey) to gather information around what parents and families might be interested in learning. After looking through the contributions in the ThoughtExchange, the following four offerings will be offered on the dates listed below. We will work to provide a digital option for those that cannot attend, however, we encourage your attendance, so you can ask questions. We will also measure the impact and potential future offering on attendance.
