Parent Advisory Group Meetings

Hello everyone and welcome to the 2009-2010 school year.  St. Vincent’s will once again provide the opportunity for parents and staff to meet and discuss a variety of topics related to the children we serve.  This opportunity will be provided through our Parent Advisory Group.  Our first opportunity for you to meet with us will be during our Annual Open House on October 19th at 6:00 PM.  We look forward to meeting you and showing you the incredible work we do. 

We will also distribute a list of times, and topics for future Parent Advisory meetings.  If you have a specific topic you would like discussed, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you, I look forward to seeing you on October 19th!
