🌟 March SPARKS Parent Support Meeting Recap! 🌟
What an incredible evening! We shared a wonderful family dinner, and while the kids had a blast playing, parents connected with an amazing support organization, Safe Families. 💙
Afterward, we dove into IEPs—breaking down how parents can work on goals at home in everyday activities. Because when home and school work together, our students thrive! 🙌
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us. Your dedication to your children’s success is what makes our SPARKS community so special! ✨ #SPARKS #SupportingParents #IEPSuccess #StrongerTogether
