Be Our Guest
Goal: to strengthen relationships between the Board of Education and parents
- Principals are asked to select a diverse, cross-section of parents who are reflective of the school’s student population. If parents would like to be selected for Be Our Guest, they should contact the principal at their child’s school.
- Parents are asked to arrive by 5:30 pm at the Fuller Building and proceed to the 3rd floor to sign in for Be Our Guest.
- Parents will check in and receive a packet/name tag.
- There will be an informal dinner with Board members from 5:30-6:25 pm in the meeting room across from the Board Room.
- At 6:30, parents and the Board members will convene in the Board Room where parents will be recognized for their participation.
- Parents are encouraged to remain for the Board meeting as long as their schedules permit.
