📣 Superintendent’s Parent Roundtable 25–26 📣

On Thursday, October 2nd, Vanguard Academy hosted the first Superintendent’s Parent Roundtable of the year at the San Juan Memorial Library. Parents joined Superintendent Dr. Marisol Rocha for an engaging discussion on district initiatives, school updates, and ways families can help shape the future of our schools.

💬 The roundtable created a space to:
✅ Learn about district goals
✅ Share ideas & feedback
✅ Connect with other parents
✅ Participate in a Q&A session

🗓 Monthly meetings will continue through May 2026, and we look forward to welcoming more families to future sessions!
