Fortuna Teen Court is partnering with the Arcata Police Department to bring the Parent Project to the Eel River Valley. The event will be held at Fortuna High School Wellness Center.
Parent Project is a 10-week series where we discuss topics like improving family relationships, using effective discipline to improve school attendance and performance, reducing substance use and negative peer influences, and addressing destructive behavior. It is an opportunity to meet with other parents in similar situations in a judgment-free zone and begin to develop a new support system. Parent Project has been around for over 30 years and was created, tried, and tested by parents dealing with "Strong-Willed" children.
We are excited to bring this course to our community and look forward to seeing you in class!
The fillable PDF for the Fall Semester Textbooks is available under the "Students" tab on the website. You can copy and paste the titles of your textbooks into the document.
To find out what books you need, you can use WebAdvisor, the course syllabus, a classmate taking the same class, or email the professor. Also, the College of the Redwoods bookstore website includes a feature where you can enter your CR Student ID to find your books.
