Parent Teacher Interviews

This week the college community participated in Parent-Teacher Interviews, and it was wonderful to see so many families taking the opportunity to meet with teachers to discuss student learning and progress. Strong partnerships between home and school play an important role in supporting student success, and we appreciate the time families took to attend.
