Dear Families:
The City School District of Albany is implementing a new program for parents and guardians
called Parent University. We are excited about this new initiative and will be launching Parent
University this spring with events at William S. Hackett Middle School and Stephen and Harriet
Myers Middle School.
Parent University is designed to help parents and guardians build strong, positive relationships
with school that will lead to student success. Parent University events will include a series of
workshops designed around a variety of topics we hope will be helpful to you. Our Parent
University philosophy is that parenting, like any form of education, is a lifelong process.
Our first Parent University event at Hackett Middle School will be held Wednesday, April 1st
from 5-7:30 p.m. We invite you to take part in our first Parent University workshop.
Parent University will begin with a homemade dinner prepared by Eugene’s Catering. There
will also be a raffle. You will have time to sit, relax, talk to other parents and enjoy yourself. So
come out and have a great time.
Please stay tuned for more information to come. We hope you will join us!
Sincerely,
Cathy Edmondson
