Attention all Kindergarten through fifth-grade parents, the Downingtown Area School District (DASD) is welcoming all moms and dads back to the classroom with a elementary math refresher. Specifically, the district will be teaching Math in Focus on three occasions in September.
During the Parent University, you will learn the Singaporean pedagogy in and out of the classroom; strategies to support your child at home; and hands-on problem solving. All three sessions will be the same; so feel free to choose the one that best fits your schedule. This is not a mandatory program.
