Spring has sprung! Those hot summer months will be here before you know it, so be sure to check out the Parent Resource Center's 2022 Summer Resource Guide, which was sent to all of our families last week.

Our Parent Resource Library is currently open from 8-4pm, Monday through Friday, through May 27. Our PRC Library summer hours will be from 9-3pm, Monday through Thursday, beginning May 30.

Parents are always welcome to come in to check out learning resources, or they can contact us to send requested resources to your child's school to bring home. If you're looking for an educational resource, game or activity to support your child's math, literacy, or social skills goals, give us a call and we can help you find something they'll love.

Visit our library catalog to see our growing collection of resources, books, and eBooks! https://search.follettsoftware.com/metasearch/ui/43326

If an interpreter is needed, please contact us at least two weeks before the event so we can secure one for you. Email us in your preferred language at prc@spotsylvania.k12.va.us to make this request. Thank you.

Profiles can be shared with your child's teachers, school staff, family members, coaches, daycare providers and anyone else who works with your child. Student profiles can be utilized from preschool through high school, so this workshop is for every parent.
