Ukrainians of Colorado jointly with Littleton Public School and East Community Center inviting for Parent Meeting.

Are you a new family from Ukraine living in America? Are you finding it difficult for you and your children to adapt to American schools?

If so, we invite all parents and children on November 4th at 11 a.m. to the East Community Center (Littleton) for a meeting dedicated to the adaptation of parents and children to American schools.

At the meeting, we will talk about adaptation, the difference between Ukrainian and American schools, and about the possibilities for quick integration of newly arrived families in Colorado.

You will be able to listen to reports from representatives of various schools, teachers and families who have already lived in the USA for a long time. Please know you are not alone. Children will also have the opportunity to meet others and play!

Please leave your questions about the school, the problems you encountered and how you would like us to solve these concerns in the comments. This will allow us to prepare well in advance for the meeting.
