Family Time in John Rogers Library Thursday, November 13 from 3:00 to 6:00 PM
There will be reading, homework, math games, computer use, and staff on hand to answer other school related questions.
The John Rogers Family Engagement Action Team (FEAT) invites students and their families to access the John Rogers library during our monthly family time in the library.
This time is geared for students to use the resources in the library, along with their parent or another adult, after school. Parents will have access to the computers and staff will be on hand to help register you for The Source as well as provide information about other online resources available for students.
This event will be held monthly on the second Thursday of each month. If your family would like to attend but transportation is a problem, please contact Andrea Bergan at thebergans@comcast.net or (206) 817-1340. Transportation assistance is available.
