Parent University 2023

Dear Parents,

A few times a year, all of the Scott County Catholic School Counselors come together to put on a parents education night to bridge the gap between what we see and teach at school – and what you’re dealing with at home.  Our first education night of the year takes place on Tuesday, October 3rd and features guest speaker  – Hank Jacobsen.  In addition to being a former Davenport Police Officer, Hank now specializes in internet safety. He’s seen it all – so if you have questions, this would be a great opportunity to get those questions answered.  Please see the flyer for more details.

Warmest regards,

Ms. Bush

Director of Student Wellness
