Workshops for Parents and Teachers
Workshops are designed to give parents the tools they need to support their children at home and provide resources for teachers to lead their students in the classroom.
These workshops vary in length from 90 minutes to 3 hours, and they are held in-person in a group setting. Group workshops are offered periodically throughout the year. Dates and topics will be posted on the website and Facebook page, and they will be shared in the OLS newsletter.
Here are some of the current course offerings:
