Parent University at Country Place Elementary

Join us for the Country Place Elementary
Parent University on January 10th @ 6:15pm!

Parent University is a chance for parents to take three classes of their choice to learn more about their child’s schooling, ways to improve life at home and plan for the future.  This is a completely FREE event!  There is no charge for child care, classes, or snacks!

In order for parents to be able to enjoy their learning time, childcare will be provided for all potty trained children in the gym.  The kids will get to watch Secret Life of Pets and enjoy a snack while the parents go to classes of their choice.  Feel free to bring the kids in their jammies so it is easier for you to get them to bed after Parent University. Please check children in at the interior entrance to the gym starting at 6:15pm and then head to your class.  A snack will be provided for the kids.  It is a snack, not dinner. You may send your child into the movie with a kid’s meal if you are pressed for time.

Classes can be attended in any order. Just choose the three classes that are interesting to you and decide where you want to go first, second, and third. If you go to a class that is crowded, just choose a different class and go to that class at the next rotation.

Pick 2-3 classes to attend and sign-up using the link below.
