Middle School Parent Network
Edgewood, Elm Place and Northwood Parents
Working Together
The Middle School Parent Network at North Shore School District 112 was formed with the mission:
"To bring parents together for the purpose of generating communication, education, awareness and support".
A parent network is a great resource for helping families keep in touch about common concerns: safety, health, discipline and other issues that come with our children's burgeoning independence. The primary focus of parent network is to support parents in developing proactive strategies for guiding their children through the challenges of adolescence.
The organization's activities include:
WORKSHOPS that offer expert speakers to provide advice and lead a parent discussion on topics relevant to parents of adolescents.
The Middle School Parent Network is coordinated through the City of Highland Park Youth Services Department. For scheduling information about the parent network activities, and for parenting tips, click here.
Programs are offered during the day and in the evening and rotate among the schools, so all parents can participate. By keeping in touch with other parents and becoming informed, parents can more comfortably share concerns and ideas, and support one another in parenting issues.
