Here are the other locations of the roundtables:

Thursday, Oct. 11 - McNair High

In a news release announcing the roundtables, Atkinson said: “During my 90-day listening and learning tour, many families shared
their desire for more open dialogue with the district’s
administration. As I wrap up my first full year in
the district, I look forward to sharing how far we’ve come and hearing
from our families their thoughts on how we can continue work together to
help our students. In order to achieve “Victory in Every Classroom!’
our parents must be our partners, and we are committed to improving
communication and engagement with our families.”
