The Parents as Partners webinar series provide families, caregivers and staff in participating districts access to all 10 live Zoom webinars. Each live webinar will take place at 6:30 p.m.

Parent Workshops are a great way to engage parents and families through presentations about many different topics that relate to school, learning and overall wellness. We are offering a variety of Parent Workshops this year in an effort to keep our families informed and engaged. Our offerings this year include a variety of topics ranging from technology support to social-emotional learning and nutrition, to how best to support learning at home. We are hopeful that through our broad range of offerings we are able to offer something that every parent or caregiver can find useful.
