Midtown Center operates on the principle that parents are the primary educators of their children.  A critical part of Midtown’s mission is to assist parents in their role as educators.  Parents are thus REQUIRED to attend monthly Parent Meetings that focus on the unique challenges faced by boys in the inner-city as well as on strategies for success.  The dates of the fall semester’s Parent Meetings are included on the reverse side calendar.  These dates include the new high school workshops for eighth grade students and their parents.
