Middle School Parent Forum

The TOPS Middle School Parent Forums provide an opportunity for parents to talk seriously among themselves and with trained professionals about issues facing their changing kids, peer group, and families; for parents and kids to come together and explore their concerns; and for kids to have their voices heard by an attentive parent group.

All meetings are 7:00 - 8:30 pm in the LRC unless otherwise noted. Parent forums are held for adult parents and guardians of TOPS middle schoolers. With few exceptions, children are not expected to be at these forums. In most cases, Kids Co. will provide child care during each forum for parents who sign up ahead of time by contacting the office or Joni Marts. If parents do not sign up, they should not expect childcare to be available to them for that forum. See Policies and Procedures Concerning Evening Childcare. If you have questions, call Joni Marts (206-545-4541, tops6to8@myexcel.com).
