Share Your Contact Info

Hand out parent group business cards so parents know how to reach you. It’s helpful and it shows you have your act together.

Slay the Speech!

Leaders often share that they’re most intimated by the back-to-school speech. If you have trouble with public speaking, relax! Most people struggle with it, so we’ve put together a handy guide with a back-to-school speech script to help you through it. (Watch the video to hear the script read aloud.)
