    INTL ParentEd: Supporting Development, Responsibility, and Emotional Growth in Upper Elementary

    Parent Education Session with Sheri Glucoft Wong, LCSW
    For 3rd, 4th, & 5th Grade Parents

    As children move through the upper elementary years, they encounter new layers of social dynamics, expectations, and emotional complexity. We invite 3rd-5th Grade families to join us for an online parent session with Sheri Glucoft Wong focused on helping parents stay grounded, connected, and supportive while fostering responsibility, resilience, and healthy communication.

These tools are essential for parenting in today’s fast-changing world, and we hope you will join us in building the strong, shared “village” that helps our students flourish. RSVP HERE
