PTSA
Parent Network Projects
What
are Parent Networks? Parent Networks are gatherings for
parents and guardians from each grade level to get acquainted and share
parenting ideas that revolve around day-to-day issues.
Who
can be involved? All parents and guardians who enjoy a
supportive peer group discussion regarding their children’s social and
emotional development.
What
is the purpose of each Parent Network? Meetings are scheduled
once each month with the purpose of widening circles of community,
support and responsibility. Parent Networks provide an opportunity for
parents to share ideas, concerns and strategies around issues such as
friendships, parent-child communication, emerging independence,
discipline and social life (dating, parties, etc.). Issues related to
academics, school programs and personnel are appropriately addressed
elsewhere.
When
are Parent Network meetings held? Informal gatherings occur on
a monthly basis, often at a local coffee house. Groups may schedule
evening meetings to address specific topics of interest. Reminders will
appear on the Paly Link.
