Coffee and Conversation
Grade-level specific conversational coffees have begun! These gathering times are designed to give parents space to talk about their families' experience in the students' new grade levels and courses. Friday, 9th and 10th grade co-teachers had the opportunity to share, ask questions, and give suggestions, plus to receive advice from peers and school leaders. Parents brought up excellent points about math philosophy and practices, English composition, and essential areas of history study.
