Announcing the 2020-2021 MVLA Parent Education Speaker Series
The MVLA Parent Education Speaker Series is excited to announce our speaker line-up for the 2020 -2021 school year. Nationally and internationally recognized experts will join us to discuss important topics in child and adolescent well-being, including – delving inside admission decisions at three different colleges; exploring strategies to foster and strengthen emotional well-being; creating a supportive environment that helps boys thrive socially and emotionally; demystifying adolescent development during the middle school years; connecting with your high schooler through more authentic communication; building trusting relationships with kids of all ages through the simple, yet effective power of showing up.
COVID-19 Plans
We are excited to continue bringing our community together for the MVLA Parent Education Speaker Series, despite the uncertainty of the COVID pandemic. Due to the continuously changing guidelines from Santa Clara County public health and the MVLA, LASD, and MVW school districts, we have worked with our speakers to offer events online on scheduled dates, if we are not able to meet in person.
