Our Mission
Listening Community Meeting
The Listening Community meets during the fall, winter and spring for a six-week cycle. Meetings are held one day per week at a central Greenwich location. Please stay tuned to Dr. Jones' Friday note, Dr. Heiligenthaler’s Together We Can newsletter or the newsletter at your student's school for specific dates and location.

Our Guidelines
Consistent with the district norms, we ask everyone to please:
Be Here: be present in the moment, attend to whomever is speaking, judgment free
Be Honest: share information from your own story or experience
Be Safe: focus on listening without placing blame and please refrain from using specific names of persons involved
Care for Self and Others: respect each person's experience by actively listening and offering understanding rather than advice
Let Go and Move On: focus on the story or feelings being shared with you; please keep whatever is shared within this community
