Moving Forward
Discussion centered on the town specific "Community Conversations" planned for Fall to solicit ideas from our community on "How much better Parker can get" while also providing information about current/future facilities needs.
We decided to try to incorporate class groupings for these conversations so that families can meet/strengthen connections with parents of students in their child's grade/division.
