🌟 Family Friday & Coffee with the Staff ☕️

We’re excited to invite our La Ballona families to our first Family Friday & Coffee with the Staff of the school year on Friday, September 11!

Join us for a morning of connection, information, and community as you meet our administrators and school counselors, learn more about how we support our students and families, and connect with other members of our school community.

📅 Friday, September 11
🕣 8:45 AM – Family Friday on the blacktop
☕ 9:00 AM – Coffee with the Staff: Presentation & Community-Building Activity in the Cafeteria
🍩 10:00–10:25 AM – Coffee & Donuts

The meeting will be offered in English and Spanish, followed by a fun community-building activity for everyone. We’ll also invite families to share their ideas through a Family Needs Assessment to help us plan future parent education workshops and Coffee with the Counselors sessions based on topics that are most meaningful and helpful to our families.

Can’t attend Family Friday? You can still make your voice heard! Families are encouraged to share their suggestions for future parent education workshops by completing our Family Needs Assessment Google Form. The form will remain open until Friday, September 25 at 4:00 PM.

Complete the Family Needs Assessment Google Form here.

We hope you’ll join us on September 11! We look forward to connecting with you, hearing your ideas, and continuing to build a strong school community together. 💙
