Counseling School Program Parents

Love and Logic Parenting Classes Change of Setting

Overall, the first three sessions help parents foster responsibility, reduce conflict, and build children's independence while maintaining a caring and supportive relationship.

The following dates are November 12, 19, and December 3 from 5:00 to 6:30.

Unfortunately, given the inconsistent attendance we lost our childcare support. Therefore, we will continue our lesson via Zoom. We will send the links to your email.

Thank you for making the effort to participate and to improve your family dynamics.

Thank you for your understanding.

It is a priority for Katy ISD to partner with our families and community to create a safety net for our students.
