MILITARY LIFE

CONNECTING MILITARY FAMILIES THROUGH DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCHOOL MEETINGS

A FACE TO A NAME: "Parent/teacher conferences happen a couple times a year. Parents usually receive their invitation to the one-on-one conference a few weeks ahead of time.

Are you a military-connected family looking for a way to link home, school and community? Whether you are at a brand-new duty station or have been around the neighborhood for a bit more time, you are in good company. On average, military families are on-the-move a lot more than civilian families.

With a move, called a Permanent Change of Station (PCS), families who are military connected, often find themselves settling into a new community about every 2 to 4 years. School meetings are a great way to inspire and nurture connection, partnership and a sense of belonging. Sometimes the intent is not clear, especially when the meeting names sound like they mean the same thing. As you gear up for another exciting and inspirational school year, consider how school meetings support you and your family.
