PARENTS' ACTIVITIES SCHEDULE 2011-2012

Please Note…for Parents’ Support Group Meetings in November, February, March & May:

  • Don’t forget to bring your appetite and your kids (including CDS students), because dinner (pizza & pop) and child care will always be provided.

  • Make sure to RSVP (847.680.8349 / ext. 301), no later than the day before the meeting…so we know how much food to order, and how many staff members will be needed to provide child care.
