You are able to sign-up for conferences between February 28, 2020 until March 19, 2020 at 7:30 PM. Sign-up will be done through My Conference Time online scheduler. Please refer to the Parent Letter that is attached at the bottom of this Update that will provide you with directions and the My Conference Time Link.
Please remember to leave time between conferenes to allow you to arrive at your next conference on time. If you feel comfortable with your student's performance in any given class and do not have any academic concerns, please note that it is not necessary to schedule a time for every teacher.

Parents Empowering Parents
Have you walked through a challenging circumstance or situation with your child? Would you be willing to walk with another parent through a similar circumstance?
Parents Empowering Parents of the Novi Mental Health Alliance is looking for parents (not professionals) who are willing to:
• Increase parents’ resilience during a challenging time and give them support and resources to help them cope.
• Provide a safe environment in which parents can vent and share their feelings.
• Help parents feel less alone because they know others have gone through similar experiences and can relate.
• Offer comfort in a way that family and friends may be unable to provide.
The PEP Project is an effort to pair up parents, both male and female, as peers to support other parents who are currently facing similar situations or circumstances with their own children. These parent peers will serve as a sounding board, a safe place to vent, a place to receive empathy and support, build relationships, and receive community resources.
PEP will provide the training and resources necessary to equip parent peers to come alongside other parents. You do not have to commit to attend the training. Come find out more!
The first training/information session is scheduled for :
March 21, 2020
9:00 am -12:00 noon Novi High School.
Training will be limited to the first 25 applicants.
Please contact the Novi Community Coalition for more information or to register:
(248) 567-9614 or info@novicc.org or go to www.novicc.org
Please refer to the attached PEP flyers at the bottom of this Friday Update for further details.
