Parent University is an interactive and informative virtual meeting between parents and school administrators. Parent University is designed to engage parents by providing tools centered around how they can support their students in school and at home! You will learn about strategies to connect with your child, help them build resilience, and tools for academic & behavioral success. Parent University will also keep you informed on important happenings and opportunities at your campus. Parents are encouraged to participate in the meeting through discussion and inquiry.
At the first Parent University of the year, parents had the opportunity to hear from:
- Special word from Superintendent, Dr. McDonald
- Encouragement from District Chaplain, Marsha Martinez
- Presentation on connecting with your child from Brittany Fitzerald, LMFT-A
- Testing information from Dr. Katherine Stover and Dr. Jacqueline Taylor of Advantage Academy's Academics Department
