School Board Monthly Update
January 2021
Thank you for the opportunity to serve the children, families and taxpayers of the Upper Darby School District. As part of the school board communication plan the Board sends monthly updates to the school community. The information included in these briefs are not intended to be complete and do not replace official Board minutes. Official meeting minutes, agendas, reports, and presentations are available at BoardDocs. Also, the Board meetings are also livestreamed and available on our YouTube Channel. We welcome you to follow the issues the School Board is considering and to attend meetings to stay informed.
Parent Information Night on February 4th, 6:30 p.m.
Do you miss having real conversations with your child? Do you miss knowing how your child is feeling, and what your child is thinking about? In this 1-hour interactive workshop, we will go over ways to encourage your child to talk with you more, including:
- Behaving in ways that make your child more likely to approach you about important issues
- Asking questions that help start meaningful conversations
- Responding in a way that encourages your child to share even more
