Get Involved
We need your input for Parent Education! π
The PTA is looking forward to putting on parent education programming on a variety of topics! We've created a survey to help identify topics that families are interested in learning about, as well as what times might work best for these sessions. Please fill out this survey to let us know what topics and times are best for you. We'll share more information on these sessions as soon as they're scheduled!
