Parents as Teachers Newsletter
North Kansas City Schools * May 2023
Thank you!
Summer is a great time to connect with friends and spend time with family outdoors. As far as Parents as Teachers - we are wrapping up some of our last visits in May & some of our friends will be heading into kindergarten this summer. Thank you so much for your participation in Parents as Teachers. We will miss seeing your child during visits, but we hope that we can be a support to you and your family during this new transition. You will receive an email in August for re-enrollment.
