Why are we
having these
meetings?
• We know you’re busy people, and we don’t always have the chance to talk “big picture” with you.
• We want you to feel involved and invested in our program.
• We want you to share with your fellow parents what’s happening in the program.
• We want for you to feel the same sense of community your children often praise.
• Our next meeting will be in January and will discuss how we compare as a school to our public and private competitors: academically, culturally, and statistically.
Congratulations!
