Park Connects Pre-K-2nd Grade
Park Connects Parent Discussion for Pre-K–Grade 2
Tuesday, October 1 • 6:30-7:30 p.m. • Middle School Commons
Our Park Connects Parent Discussion sessions have a new format this year! Members of the counseling and health team will be present at the start of the gathering to introduce themselves, recommend some talking points, and briefly answer questions about age-related topics. A trained parent Park Connects facilitator will guide the remainder of the discussion, where parents will have the opportunity to bring up new topics and share insights and ideas.
Lower School Counselor Amy Ancona will join the beginning of the session on October 1, and has provided suggestions for conversation topics below for parents to consider.
Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with fellow Park parents!
Park Connects programming supports the health and well-being of your child by fostering mutual support and productive communication among parents. Learn more about Park Connects here.
