Subject: Parent Workshops

 Date: January 4, 2010

The Parent Resource Center has planned several workshops for parents during the second semester of the 2009-2010 school year.  As you may be aware, a primary goal of the Parent Resource Center is to encourage active parental involvement and to promote a partnership between parents and educators.  One method of achieving this goal is to provide various workshops.  Most of the workshops are specifically designed for parents; however, Sibshops are offered for siblings of students with special needs. We would like to make you aware of these events and encourage you to share the following information with your faculty as well as parents within your community.
