Facility Usage Discussion
Castro families, join us for a Facility Usage Discussion on March 10 from 5:30-8 p.m at Castro Elementary. A third-party facilitator will be leading the meeting to discuss community feedback, and Dr. Marrero will be present to discuss how the feedback we received from the community led to the movement of Summit Academy to Castro. This meeting is open to all, but we want to ensure the voices of Castro families are heard!
Interpretation services, childcare and light refreshments will be provided. See you on March 10!
