Virtual Early Childhood Town Hall
2026-01-28 18:00 - 19:30
This is a placeholder for your calendar. As a reminder, the virtual Town Hall will feature a slide deck overview of our early learning programs and will lead into a Q&A session. Dr. Zrike will call upon different principals to help answer school-based questions and different department heads, depending on the content of the questions asked. You will be invited as a panelist via Zoom. I will send out your panelist link after the winter break. Once you receive your individual panelist link, my suggestion would be to add a separate invite to your calendar with that link in it so it’s readily available the evening of the expo.
