The school system’s CARE (Children at Risk in Education) program is sponsoring a free STEP (Systematic Training for Effective Parenting) workshop for parents of students at all grade levels.
The 10-week workshop will help parents better understand their child’s behavior, and improve communication with their child. Discipline that makes sense and other parenting topics will be discussed.
The workshop will run September through November with classes meeting on Tuesdays at the Center of Innovation, located at 440 Hood Avenue in Fayetteville. Meetings will be held in the media center from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Class dates are September 18 and 25; October 2, 16, 23, and 30; and November 6 and 13.
Parents interested in attending should contact their child’s school counselor for more information. Spaces are limited, so early registration is encouraged.
The registration form can be downloaded from the FCBOE website, www.fcboe.org, and the completed form turned in to the school counselor. Click on the “Programs” tab and select the “Student Assistance Services (CARE)” link. The STEP parenting class link is on the left.
