Today is DAY ONE of Parent Mentor training and we are so excited to welcome new (and returning) Parent Mentors to the team! After they complete training, the mentors will be assigned to a classroom where they will directly support teachers and students.
Parent mentors volunteer four days a week for two hours a day. While in the classroom they work one-on-one with students, lead small group activities, and support the classroom teacher. They also participate in weekly training and workshops to increase their skills and proficiency.
It's not too late! You can still sign up to be a Parent Mentor. Learn more here: https://www.dist50.net/article/3069871
