PTA Meeting

PTA Meeting
2021-12-07 19:00 - 20:30 | MD
We hope you can join us for an informational meeting. We’ve got two topics on the agenda. We’ll start with a short presentation from educators about their unions and the issues over which they are negotiating with MCPS. Second, Mr. Jackson will provide information about the move to Grosvenor Center – look for these slides at the bottom of https://www2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/woodlines/wes–grosvenor/.
This meeting will be in webinar-format (using the school’s zoom account) so that capacity is high, but that means your questions will have to come through the comments. The PTA is happy to compile questions or comments about the move and holding school beforehand. Feel free to send them to president@woodlinpta.org prior to the meeting, and we’ll get them to Mr. Jackson to answer.
