The school year at a glance, so nothing catches your family by surprise.
Eight moments. One evening each. Start anywhere: the wheel comes back around.
June – August
The table season
Meals, making, stories. The oldest classroom.
April – May
The handoff
Next year's one-pager, plus one line from this teacher.
February – March
Spring meetings
Return with your what-worked notes.
December – January
The quiet season
No packet, on purpose. Keep the table. Rest.
Late August
Write the one-pager
One evening, one page: "My Child, in Verbs."
First week
Deliver it warmly
To the teacher and the team. Ask for fifteen minutes.
September
The fifteen minutes
Meet before the meetings. Guard the pickup.
October – November
Meeting season
Carry-in page the night before. Read your verbs first.
One evening a month. That is the whole system.
