Information Sessions for Parents of Teens

Informational sessions will be held periodically throughout the school year on topics of interest to the parents of teens.  Topics like testing, technology, drug & alcohol awareness, wellness as well as programs that showcase our student’s fine art and/or musical talents are all being considered.  Where possible, these sessions will be held twice…once at noon and again at 6:00 in the evening to make it easier for everyone to attend.  Please plan to join us for those sessions!  The schedule will be posted here (check the PTA Calendar) and e-mail reminders will be sent.

If you missed earlier sessions...
