Why are we

having these

meetings?

• We know you’re busy people, and we don’t always have the chance to talk “big picture” with you.

• We want you to feel involved and invested in our program.

• We want you to share with your fellow parents what’s happening in the program.

• We want for you to feel the same sense of community your children often praise.

• Our next meeting will be in January and will discuss how we compare as a school to our public and private competitors: academically, culturally, and statistically.

Congratulations!
