This event will help parents understand how to support K-8 children in virtual and hybrid learning.  As we adjust to a very different school year,  the conversation will focus on supporting children’s socio-emotional health and executive function. Participants will takeaway ready-to-implement do’s and don’ts to start the school year off effectively.
