Parent/Guardian Resources
As NMA's School Counselor, Ms. Chloe wants to collaborate with scholars' parents and/or guardians to support students with a variety of issues such as new school transitions, special needs, family changes, and crisis situations. In addition, Ms. Chloe can put parents and/or guardians in touch with community resources.
Studies have shown that children have greater overall success when their parents and/or guardians are involved in their education. Parental involvement is critical to fulfill NMA's Vision "...to develop global leaders for the future".
