Calling all 5th Grade Parents!!!

This year we are offering a new opportunity for parents that we're calling Bauer Parent Representatives. We're looking for a couple of parents from each grade level to commit to attending three out of our five Parent Club meetings throughout the year. 

We think this group of parents will help bring some consistency, diversity, and fresh voices to the conversation. If you're looking to get involved, but you're not sure where to start, this is a great opportunity to consider. (And if you're closing out your tenure at Bauer, this could be a valuable way to finish up your years here and contribute to the very end!) 

Please click on the Google Doc link below for more information and to sign-up. This year's meetings dates are: September 12

November 14

January 16

March 12

May 8 

All meetings are held in the library from 7-8 p.m.
