To All Harker Parents,
|
Happy New Year!
As promised last fall, here is the next notice for our Harker Parent Connect events. Harker frequently hosts, sponsors or shares parent education events for our families to learn about and discuss important topics relevant to the raising of healthy, happy children. Remember, you can find these events on the Harker Parent Connect subcalendar, and labeled with an “(HPC).”
Details about these events are in the calendar item and/or will be outlined in emails. As always, attendance at these events is optional. (For more social opportunities, look for the “Parent-Organized Events” in the calendar denoted with a little puzzle piece icon. Those events are organized by and for the grade level parents and families to socialize.)
Enjoy these opportunities to connect with the school and other parents, to help our children thrive.
