Location: Middle School Commons
Join the Middle School Park Connects team, Health Educator Ashley Edwards and School Counselors Kara Ker, Tucker Snow, and Edwin Gordon, for a concise and engaging parent conversation about helping your Middle Schooler navigate the ups and downs of adolescence.
Together, we’ll explore how to recognize signs of stress, support emotional growth, and encourage healthy coping skills that build resilience and connection. This short session will offer practical tools and thoughtful insights to help you guide your child through this pivotal stage with confidence and care.
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.
