Our Parent Engagment Chair has worked along with Administration to develop the Parent and Family Engagement Policy. This policy was discussed during our first Title OneMeeting of the year on September 17, 2019.

3.2: Offer flexible number of parent involvement meetings

Our meetings will be offered at different times during the day to accomodate work schedules. Out PTA will be able to provide childcare for some of those meetings.
