Parent feedback about DAHS

We had scheduled to do a coffee and conversation meeting on April 12th but we had to cancel it because of weather.  We are having trouble rescheduling it so I would like to propose that if you have concerns or questions about your student or the DAHS program I would be happy to talk to you during parent-teacher conferences from 3-5 pm at Kennedy High School in the gym on Thursday, 4/25.  I will use that time to meet with parents who have students on my caseload.  If you don't need to meet with me in person you can also email me.  

Take care,
Meredith
