Join Dr. Fisher for a special Blaine Community Connect session as we discuss how to support our anxious kids (and selves!) and explore a compelling summary article based on the book The Anxious Generation & Dr. Becky's work.

SPS well-resourced schools community meeting for Central Region, which includes Magnolia.

(Kimball Elementary, 3200 23rd Ave S)

The evening begins in the cafeteria, where Mr. Gray and Dr. Fisher will provide a general overview about the middle school experience at Catharine Blaine. Families will then ‘attend’ each of their child’s classes for ten minutes each. In these class sessions, teachers will provide an overview of the curriculum, class workload, and grading. Students will fill in a schedule for their families to follow for the evening, but students don’t attend curriculum night. The schedule for the evening doesn’t include time for individual conversations with teachers – if you ever have a question or concern, contacting a teacher by e-mail is the best way to get in touch.  

Online meeting; link will be published at seattleschools.org. You can RSVP HERE.
