iSUPPORT Meeting and Get the Tea with Tina and Terri: September 2

We love our Parent Support Group: iSUPPORT! iSUPPORT is a group of parents/guardians who help plan and organize events. It’s a great way to get involved and meet other parents.

Interested in joining? Our first meeting will be held via Zoom on Tuesday, September 2, at 3:00-3:30 PM. The Zoom link will be sent via ParentSquare.

Immediately following the iSUPPORT meeting, we hold “Get the Tea with Tina and Terri.” This is a time you can ask our director and lead facilitator any question you may have. We also welcome feedback, requests, and new ideas. There is no set agenda for this. It’s just a time to chat with the admin and ask questions. We will conclude no later than 4:00 PM.
