Connect Charter Family Weekly Update

May 26 - May 30

This Week's Highlights

Parent Leadership Opportunities – We Need You! We continue to urgently seek parents to step into Parent Society and School Council roles for the upcoming school year. You'll be supported with mentorship, and now is the perfect time to get involved while experienced parents are still available to guide the transition. Many of our current leaders have children in older grades and will soon be leaving the school. If you're interested or have questions, please contact us at [email protected]
