The Roundtable at River Birch

Family Engagement

Episode Summary

Family Engagement is important to the success of our students and school community. At the Roundtable this week, you'll hear from two members of our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) Executive Board as well as my vision for the future of family engagement at River Birch. As we attempt to remove the barriers we know exist, I hope you'll listen and to the many ways we'd like you to engage in our school community. Together, we are better.
