Family Engagement
Family Engagement is very important to us at Samuelson, and we recognize this can look different for everyone. It’s important to us that all families feel engaged with the school, in whatever ways they are comfortable and able. Below are some examples of what family engagement could look like at Samuelson. You might be surprised by how many things you’re already doing, or by how easy it is to get your family engaged!
