Parent Engage 360 events aim to provide resources to parents and guardians to support their students and others in the community. Anoka-Hennepin realizes the importance of parent engagement in maximizing student success. We hope that providing timely and helpful information through Parent Engage 360 events and the podcast series will strengthen that bond between school and home, with resources that parents and guardians can use and share with others.
The final Parent Engage 360 event will be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 19 at Anoka High School. Dr. Cory Martin will hold an interactive event titled “How to Get Your Mojo Back After COVID-19.”
