Highly Recommended Parenting Classes
Learn to:
  • Avoid un-winnable power struggles and arguments
  • Stay calm when your kids do incredibly upsetting things
  • Set enforceable limits - avoid enabling and begin empowering
  • Help your child learn from mistakes rather than repeating them

Although the class is held at a church, this is not a religious program. It will be facilitated by a former School Board member, Joann Steinmeier.

REFLECTIONS
National Reflections Competition
Each year thousands of students create and submit original works in the areas of  dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography  and  visual arts .

The  2018-2019 theme "Heroes Around Me"  will spark imagination and creativity in our students. Submissions will be accepted starting in October 2018 with a deadline of mid October later to be determined. Good luck to this year’s contestants!

Last year, a Longley Way student advanced all the way to the State level!
