Dear Parents,
Wishing you a great back to school week!
As schools ready plans for re-opening - whether virtually, in-person, or a hybrid model - The Parent Education Series will continue to provide parent and community education virtually through 2020.
This August, we're pleased to sponsor a back-to-school series with noted author Ana Homayoun. See details below for Setting Students Up for Success in a School Year of Uncertainty (Online, August 18).
If you attended any of the Summer Series events, we hope you'll take a few minutes to complete a brief online survey:
You are welcome to explore videos of popular events in our Video Library on YouTube and Vimeo. And for the latest in parenting news and events, join us on social media (Instagram and Facebook), with new posts daily!
Recent videos feature presentations on Better Digital Parenting; Exploring the Community College Transfer Programs; and Talking to Your Kids About Race.
TPV will provide more high-quality parent education, while extending the reach of The Parent Education Series to a broader range of families and communities.
Wishing you all a happy and healthy return to school!
