Pathways in Technology Early College High School (PTECH)

💙🐂 Today, our Cigarroa High School families participated in Parenting with Presence, an event focused on strengthening family relationships and supporting student well-being. Parents engaged in a counseling circle, painted and shared aspirations with one another, and enjoyed Lotería while learning strategies to manage stress and communicate effectively with their children. ❤️

A special thank you to Mrs. Jenny Torres, our GEAR UP Facilitator, for helping support meaningful opportunities for parent engagement and family connection!
