… Read Full Post Parent Resource Meeting, Thursday Nov. 20
November’s Parent Resource Meeting is tonight, Thursday, November 20th at 7 p.m. This unique resource meeting is for many parents at Bells Mill, not just those who may have students with additional learning needs.
The goal is to help parents identify what their child needs in order to have a meaningful homework experience. How to identify issues, build a scaffold to resolve them and when and how to reach out if outside support is needed. We will discuss red flags, strategies to support without hovering and questions to ask which demonstrate support rather than criticism.
