Alignment Nashville invites you to join us for a Coffee Talk focused on school culture and climate on Tuesday, January 31!
The culture and climate of a school impact more than students' abilities to learn and grow – it impacts families, parents, teachers, staff, and other members of every school community. During this Coffee Talk, guests will be able to share their perspectives and hear from others regarding community issues that impact schools and discuss the role that community plays in supporting MNPS' efforts to improve the culture and climate of Nashville schools.
RSVP for the School Culture and Climate Coffee Talk, 9:00 to 10:00am in the MNPS Board Room!
