BUpper Weekly Parent Conversations

Families: Please Join Us Virtually on April 17th for Wellness Night

Please join Bailey’s Upper school counselors, Derek Ryan and Maya Lidell, as we discuss how parents can talk to their child so they will listen and share. We will review ways to talk through peer conflicts and other situations teachers call home about. School counselors will share tips to turn phone calls home in learning opportunities for our children.

Weekly Parent Conversations will occur virtually on Mondays, 7:00pm – 8:00pm. The themes will cover wellness, math, and language arts. Specific topics will be announced the Friday before in News You Choose.

(Spanish interpreter will be available*)
