A good friend of mine was lamenting the other day about her daughter going to high school next year - Mainly she was concerned about the transition. I won't have these types of discussions any time soon, but I do understand the pressures of parenting, and the un-known of a child attending a new school. That's why parent or student/parent meetings as an introduction to the school are so important, and an event worth attending.

Attached are several parent informational meetings for area school districts that will be happening within the next few weeks:
