Our district is excited to support the parents and guardians in our school community during the 2023-2024 school year with a series of free webinars. This webinar series, offered through Zoom, will focus on various aspects of health and wellness. Each live webinar will start at 6:30 p.m.
Please register in advance for each webinar. Each session will be recorded and available for 30 days after the live webinar. If you cannot attend the “live” event, we encourage you to still register to get the link to access the recording.
