Parental Involvement:
Our Teen Council parents are welcomed at any event TC is working! We encourage an open line of communication between TC and their parents about the work they're doing, however, parents are not allowed at meetings. There is no facebook group or groupme for Teen Council parents because we encourage our TC to be responsible and self sufficient - which includes keeping their parents updated on their schedule. Parents are welcomed to ask our AD if they have any questions, but most of their info will come from their kids. |
