Savvy Source's Comments
Parents are welcome to visit Activity Academy during school hours. Many opportunities are provided for parents to become involved in the program. Parents' nights, lectures, potlucks, field trips, fund-raising events, and other special events are all ways parents can become involved. At least two times per year parents have an opportunity to meet with teachers to discuss their child's progress? A minimum of one time per year, Activity Academy invites a guest speaker to provide a lecture for parents on a topic related to child rearing. Parents' resources such as articles and books on variety of topics useful to parents are available in our staff lounge.
