NCSD Parent Resource Center Has Summer Ideas For Kids

The school year winding down and many parents are now faced with the daunting task of keeping their kids entertained in a fun and active way.  The Natrona County School District has a parent resource center set up to provide parents with summer assistance in finding fun and safe activities for kids of all ages and abilities.

Last year the NCSD parent resource center served dozens of families and guardians with information about behavior concerns and district community resources as well as district procedures and parental/family educational information.

The parent resource center also worked with other agencies to identify needs for families in Natrona county.

The Parent Resource Center launched a website (https://sites.google.com/a/myncsd.org/prc/) and a Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ncsdprc).
