Citywide Parent Leadership Team

(Every school is supposed to have two representatives attending these meetings.  Please feel free to attend; it would be nice if you could just send a note to esumspto@gmail.com to let us know we have a few parents there.)  

You are invited to attend:


NHPS Citywide Parents: Empowering Parents!

Thursday, September 10, 2015 from 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

You are cordially invited to join our next monthly meeting where we will focus on empowering parents/caregivers to work together and help achieve positive transformation in New Haven.  

We will hear from a few parent groups that successfully achieved change in the past to hear their tips and tricks.  Then, working groups, we will begin by highlighting three main areas that parents brought to our attention last year:
1. Need for safe buses with bus monitors
2. More nurses and improved healthcare options in schools
3. Increased presence of restorative justice practices throughout district  

Using an action guide template, we will discuss how parents/caregivers can begin to identify possible solutions and how to work with the district and local officials to support and bring change.  In fact, many of our local officials will be present!  

Please note that Speaker's Corner will not be held this month to allow for more discussion time for groups. Please feel free to submit any flyers you would like to share, or simply bring them to meeting to disburse at tables. 

Have youth opportunities to share?  Sign-up today to request a resource table!   Email:JenniferRicker@hotmail.com or Daniel.Diaz@nhboe.net.
