SUMMARY:Navigating the New Normal: Q & A with Options President Melinda Giampietro
DESCRIPTION:FREE Online Webinar: Wednesday\, April 22nd at 7:00 pm \nOptions Solutions has always been committed to building a positive community and providing families with the most up-to-date information about post-secondary admission. We feel the need now\, more than ever\, to fulfill this mission. With so much unknown\, it is hard for families to make decisions about the future. For our grade 11 students\, there is a certain precariousness about the normal process of applying to post-secondary institutions: third term activities are canceled\, grades are uncertain\, and summer jobs/programs/volunteering are all up in the air. At Options\, we excel at motivating others\, promoting actionable steps\, and mining the good. Join our founder\, Melinda Giampietro\, for an open discussion about the state of post-secondary admission and information about how to help your teen navigate the next few months. With her usual optimism and humour\, Melinda will also share practical tips for handling online school and ways to creatively return to extra-curricular activities. There will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end. \nWhile this discussion is targeted towards grade 11 parents\, all parents are welcome to join our FREE GoToWebinar. \nPlease register at info@optionssolutionsed.com and provide your name\, student’s name\, and email address. The day before the event\, we will reach out by email with a webinar link.
