For the 2024-2025 school year, Dawson will partner with Parent Map to provide ParentEd Talks to our community. Through this partnership, the School will provide access to a robust webinar platform that families can access at their convenience. Additionally, as a community we will select three topics that we will dive deeper into together at Family University events.
