Parent Meetings

We offer a handful of parent meetings throughout the year. These meetings offer social time with one another as well as an opportunity to look deeper into various aspects of child development. The format of the parent evening offers connection, support, validation, perspective, and insight. These meetings are an important part of your child's education at this school in that they will keep you connected to your child's experience by way of networked adult conversation with the teacher and with other parents. The teachers at WIWS view parent meetings as an essential part of parent teacher teamwork

We recognize that there are many variables, such as work schedules, child care, and bedtime routines that can affect your ability to attend evening events. For this reason, we will notify you in August of all parent meeting dates for the year. Please, plan ahead so that you can attend. If you miss a meeting, it will be your responsibility to speak to a designated parent about the content of the meeting. It is our goal to have 100% attendance (at least 1 parent/ family) at all meetings.

This year, the teachers have pared down the number of parent meetings in a school year so that parents can also feel free to attend the many educational events offered throughout the year. We encourage you to attend these events as they offer not only another opportunity for community involvement and connection, but also serve to deepen our understanding of the children's experience.
