2019-2020 Micro Elementary Parent Academy

Our first date is Thursday, October 24th from 6:30-7:30. Childcare and light snacks will be available. Also, if parents attend 100% of the sessions they will be eligible for a home literacy library gift. Stay tuned for more information but we look forward to seeing you on October 24th!
Please remember that if you have questions or concerns, please start with your child's teacher. We are here to serve!
Thank you!
