This morning, the Director of Family, Schools & Community Partnerships, in collaboration with Northeast School, hosted a wonderful Coffee & Connection event for families.

This gathering created a welcoming space for parents to engage directly with school staff and the Family & School Partnership Department. It was a great opportunity to build relationships, share resources, and strengthen the connection between home and school.

Events like these remind us how important it is to come together as a community to support our students’ success. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to such a positive and meaningful morning!
