Parents interested in joining the event via Zoom can email Mr. Jone's directly to obtain the ZOOM URL and information being shared during the discussion. There will potentially be a second session if parents can't make the 4:30 PM time slot.

In setting up the parenting class, Mr. Jones reached out to parents planning to attend today's class and get feedback on parent's concerns at home. He found that the sum of the parents are concerned about social issues with their students missing friends and even feeling sad after class zoom meetings. Other areas of concern included anxiety, getting motivated to do school work. All of these will be touched on in today's class listed above.
