Academic Parent Teacher Event Support - 2024

Cumming Elementary School hosts three academic nights per year as well as quarterly parent learning sessions. This allows parents to go over student data from the school year and receive advice to promote academic achievement. Providing meals for the families serves as an incentive and greatly increases event attendance. Children whose parents come to these events typically have a significant increase in their academic performance. This gift funds the cost of providing meals to families during the academic parent events throughout the year.
