Parent Newsletter
Ms. Martin shares out our campus newsletter via email each Friday. Make sure to read her newsletter for information regarding campus news. This week's newsletter can be found linked here.

Parent Book Club
Our counselor and librarian will be facilitating a parent book club this Spring in the Town Center library, and we would love for you to attend! It will be a great time to get to know and collaborate with other parents. The book study will start towards the end of March and go through April. It will be a total of five sessions, with each session lasting one hour. All participants will receive a free copy of the book, and it will be yours to keep. If you are interested in attending/learning more, fill out the link below. This will help our facilitators pick the day that works best for everyone and gauge interest in the book club. 

More information about the book can be found on Ms. Martin's campus newsletter.
