11/21/24 Second Annual Parent University (School Community Email)

We are excited to announce our 2nd annual Massapequa School District Parent University, which is a wonderful opportunity for parents and educators to come together for an evening of learning and connecting. Please save the date: This year’s new date and location is February 26, 2025 at MHS-Ames Campus, which is an update from our original scheduled date and location posted on our district calendar!

The aim of the Parent University is to strengthen a bridge between home and school in the development of our children. It truly takes a village. The Parent University will be designed in a workshop format with a variety of course offerings. Parents/guardians will choose workshops based on interest or need and will receive information and resources. In addition, there will be the opportunity for discourse and discussion during the event.

To help create our workshops, we are inviting parents/guardians to participate in a ThoughtExchange, “As we prepare to develop Parent University, which workshop topics would you be most interested in learning more about as a parent?” The exchange closes on December 2, 2024.

Quick-tips:

  • This Exchange is confidential. Your thoughts will be shared with other participants, but not your identity.

  • Please be polite and respectful as you share and rate thoughts.

  • You will see and rate thoughts that others have shared. 5 stars = strongly agree, 1 star = strongly disagree.

  • You do not need to rate all thoughts, though it's recommended to rate at least 20.

  • After you answer and rate thoughts, we invite you to come back often until December 2 to rate new ideas.

After this exchange closes on December 2, the Parent University program will be developed and communicated back to the community. We are excited to continue this great event in Massapequa.
