Parent Education Opportunities
On this page, we'll collect some of the supports, wisdom and collaboration happening throughout the district and the county that is empowering families with education. There's no definitive handbook to being parents, but we can all help each other along the way! Here's what's coming up soon:
In-Person Series:
Parents Workshops: Raising Children & Teens with Healthy Boundaries
Mondays
September 21st - October 26th
Branciforte Small Schools Campus
6-7:30pm
We are so happy that positive discipline trainer Julie Atkinson (M. Ed.) is back to lead parenting discussions after her family workshop was so popular last year!
​
Join Julie on Monday evenings this fall for a 6-part workshop series. Feel free to drop in to every or any night of the workshop, to meet with other families and join the discussion on how we can best support our kids and each other. English available in-person at the Branciforte Small Schools Campus and Spanish available in-person as well or online via Zoom.
To make attending easy, free childcare (ages 5–11) and light meals or snacks are provided for all in-person sessions! Don't miss this chance to gain practical tools for a happier, more cooperative home—see the attached fliers and reach out to Casey O'Brien at cobrien@sccs.net for details.
