Building Connections: Back to School Socials for a Stronger Community

In this episode of Sage Studio, Tiffiny Webster welcomes Stephanie Gomarko and Taylore Coulombe, from the Personalized Learning Academy to discuss the Back to School Socials. Stephanie and Taylore are Regional Mentors at Sage Oak. Stephanie primarily works with middle school students while Taylore focuses on kindergarten through fifth grade.The Back to School Socials are events where families can meet teachers, interact with other students, and learn about the services offered by approved community providers. There will also be a curriculum swap where families can acquire additional resources for their curriculum. The socials are casual and interactive, allowing parents and children to participate in crafts, activities, and field games. The events will take place at parks, with three socials scheduled on September 8th and three on September 15th, divided across various locations in Southern California.Parents are encouraged to attend and make the most of this opportunity to network with other families, meet teachers in a more informal setting, and explore available services. The socials aim to foster connections and relationships that can be invaluable in the independent study environment. It's a chance for students to meet new friends and for parents to connect with both new and experienced families who can provide support and resources.The Back to School Socials also offer an exciting opportunity for students to have their school pictures taken, as this has been a challenge in recent years. Parents are advised to sign up for school pictures in advance by visiting the provided link and uploading their child's photo for accurate matching. Overall, the Back to School Socials are a fantastic way to kickstart the school year, build connections, and create a positive learning environment for students.To learn more about the Back to School Socials, check the Sage News email or visit the website for dates and locations.
