Parent University
Parent University is a series of videos created by Desert Heights educators with the goal of helping families develop the knowledge and skills to be proactive in their child's learning and development. Parent University is a Kindergarten-8th grade initiative, when students reach High School they become the facilitators in sharing what they are learning with you at events called STEAM Nights. Be on the lookout for the schedule for STEAM Nights. You won’t want to miss out!
Each grade level has chosen a topic or skill that is extremely important to your child’s overall academic success. They have created videos demonstrating how to teach these skills so that you as parents can practice them at home the way we practice in class. All parents will have access to the videos from each grade level below, therefore, if your child needs support in any of the other skills, you will be able to access those as well.
