Are you a Highline parent concerned about your child’s learning in reading, math, or technology at school? Connect with other literacy-minded families at this independent, parent-led group.
Invitation from Guest Writer Lauren Schmidt, Highline Parent
This is an invitation to all Highline families and community members interested in coming together to discuss the main educational topics in our schools (literacy, tech, and math). We are forming an independent parent coalition focused on three main goals:
We hope to meet families from across the district - including those with students in Elementary, Middle, and High School. Community members, teachers, and staff are also very welcome to attend.
Our first meeting will focus on introductions and sharing the issues and priorities that are most important to our families. This is a family-friendly event; students and children are welcome to attend and utilize the library resources during our discussion.
If you are unable to attend and/or would like to continue to receive periodic email updates, please fill out our Contact Form.
About the Organizer: This coalition is being organized by Lauren Schmidt, a Highline elementary parent and literacy advocate. Lauren’s interest in this work grew from her experience filing a formal Instructional Materials Complaint last fall regarding the use of three-cueing in the district’s K-5 ELA program.
