Piedmont Parents Network - PPN

PPN hosts grade-level discussions for parents with students in grades 6-12. Groups meet monthly during the school year at a parent’s home and are facilitated by trained parent volunteers.  PPN offers a great, consistent way to connect with other parents at a time when there are fewer opportunities to do so and kids grow more independent. Think of PPN as a kind of book club with no book--you’ll learn so much from each other about what’s going on, what’s coming down the pipe, and how to keep it all in perspective. It's great to hear about the experience and advice of parents of different genders with older kids who have gone through this before. 

PPN often hosts local expert speakers to their grade-level monthly meetings or at the middle or high school.  Speakers have included youth educators and teen counselors/therapists speaking on a range of topics including relationships, social emotional well-building, managing stress and anxiety, stages of adolescent development, tech/social media, and life after high school.  We also hosted panels with graduating seniors offering advice to high school parents, and discussions with parents about post-high school options.

Topics may change each meeting, but PPN is a constant and always here to support you. Some groups have even continued to meet after the kids graduate! 

PPN has supported the parent community since 1998.  Join now and get to know the many wonderful parents from Piedmont!
