Join us for our parent roundtable series!

This session is intended for parents of children in grades 1-3. For information on our session for parents of grades 4-5, click here. 

These roundtable discussions are intended to give parents of similarly-aged children a chance to gather as a community, share stories, build skills, and discuss challenges or issues that may be coming up as we speak to our kids about personal and social health (PSH.)* 

Each roundtable will be moderated and facilited by two TASIS parents equipped with deep professional expertise in PSH topics, as well as professional expertise in parent-child communication. 

* These roundtables are not intended to be a discussion about the PSH curriculum. As parents, we are not part of curriculum decisions. However, a TASIS team member will be in attendence for any case-specific questions on curriculum that may arise.
