Parents are our most important partners in learning.  Working together we can offer our children the best education possible! Kelley Simpson, our Social Worker, and I are available to help families as well as our students.   Please visit our developing Family Resource Center and feel free to check out any of the materials we have available.  If you are having concerns or difficulties, please come and see us!  In addition to parenting information, we have lists of community resources for food, clothing, housing and counseling.  It is often helpful to just talk over a worry and to know you are not alone.
