    Parent Launch & Learning Coach Class

    We have had a great turn-out of new parents attending Parent Launch Class. I want to thank those who have attended so far, we even saw a few returning parents who came for a refresher course. 

    If any returning parents would like to schedule a time to come in please let me know and we can arrange that ASAP. There have been many new updates and changes to the online system and we want all parents feeling confident in their ability to support their student/s. Also feel free to email, call, text, or stop by my office with any questions, feedback, or any other needs.

    Parent Corner Episodes

    We will have new Parent Corner videos created and uploaded very soon, feel free to send me feedback or new ideas too. We truly want to create the episodes based on the feedback and the needs of MEWA parents and families. “What will help you support your student?” 

    It could be very simple, such as …

    What is the dashboard?
     or …
    How do I find the Principals message on the website vs. the app?
