Learning new tips and tricks to improve organization and better manage calendars and commitments, time and tasks, platforms and priorities --- is the thrust of the second ParenTalks of the 2020-21 academic year.
This St. Michael's College School's (SMCS) presentation and live webcast takes place on Thursday, October 29.

ParenTalks is in its first full year at SMCS.
Presented by the Student Affairs Department and Community and Learning Partnerships, the ParenTalks series debuted in May 2019 as in-person events to facilitate deeper conversations between current SMCS parents, their sons, and the school on topics of health and wellness.
Each event features invited guest experts who share their knowledge and insight on relevant and timely themes.
Since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, ParenTalks events have taken place online, via Zoom webinar.
