On April 30th, we've planned a Parent Education event
on understanding your child's learning style. It
should be a great event and more information will be
provided in future newsletters. To plan for the
event, we would appreciate you responding to an online
survey
that will help us understand the best time to schedule
the event and potential childcare needs. The survey
should only take a few minutes and we would
appreciate
your feedback even if you cannot attend this session
as we could use the guidance for future planning.
Please take the time to participate in the
online
survey.
Your participation is appreciated! Parent Education Survey |
