Thur 1/12 Parent Meeting Location
Cathy DeFuria
Parent Discussion of the Results of 2011 CAFY-ABCHY Parent Survey
CAFY & ABCHY collaborated
last spring to conduct a survey of Acton-Boxborough Parents of teens which was
completed by 338 parents of 6th-12th graders. The survey focused on what parents
are doing to promote the health and wellness of their teens and to reduce risky
teen behavior. It also focused on the major concerns that parents have, related
to these topics and what they believe that parents, the schools, ABCHY and CAFY,
and the community-at-large should do to help ensure the health and wellness of
our teens. The summary report for the
parent survey has been posted on the CAFY (www.cafy.net)
and ABCHY (www.abchy.org)
web sites.
CAFY is sponsoring an open parent meeting on next Thursday Jan. 12th at 7 p.m. The meeting will provide parents with the opportunity to interact with one another and discuss the various themes that were identified by the survey. CAFY will use this discussion to plan some initiatives designed to address the priority issues and concerns that are identified by the survey. CAFY leadership needs new members and is hoping that some of the people who attend this meeting might be interested in joining the CAFY Board.
