The Parent Speaker Series is an annual program where professionals are hosted by the committee to provide insight and/or moderate discussions on current topics of concern for our parent/guardian community. In addition, each year we partner with the Cresskill Wellness Committee to help promote children’s health and wellness, and the Middle and High Schools’ Administration to host “Meet the Administration Night” to provide an informal setting for parents to get to know the staff. When possible, we partner with Bergen County officials, the Cresskill Police, and neighboring school communities to leverage combined resources for larger-scale events.
Programs for the 2020-21 school year are:
October – Share the Keys, a Teen/Parent Safe Driving Orientation Program
November – Meet the Administration
December – “Tired of All the Yelling?”, a workshop of relationship communications
January – Winter Wellness Program: Chair Yoga
