Our May Branch meeting will include a parent seminar titled "Growing Childrens Emotional Intelligence".

We will be discussing the upcoming QAGTC 2019 State Conference during the meeting.

Knowing what to reasonably expect from a school, knowing how to ask and getting results can be difficult for parents who feel uncomfortable for any number of reasons. This talk will navigate through the school factors that can affect the outcome of your discussions and how best to deal with the fears and phobias at both ends of the conversation.
