How the guides work with families
A guide writes a note home every Friday, in Spanish and English. Families meet the guides at a conference in the fall and again in the spring, and a family can ask for a talk at any time.
The guides keep a record of each student's work, and the conferences start from it. If a family wants to tell the guides something about their child, they say so at the visit.
Meet them at a visit
The guides are in the rooms on every visit day.
