The dates are March 1, 8, 15, 22, and ending with a potluck dinner and parent graduation ceremony on March 29. The workshops are held at 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. at Magnolia JHS. The workshops are free of charge to parents and child care is provided.

Topics covered in the Parent Academy include: organization of the school system, understanding the California Standards Test and its impact on students, increasing parent involvement at home and at school, high school graduation requirements, and the path to helping your child attend college or be career ready.
