At Riverbend, we believe that education is a collaborative effort that extends beyond classroom walls, and we know the critical role parent’s play in their child’s academic journey and overall development. To foster a stronger partnership between our School, parents, and the greater Natick community we are excited to present our Community Learning Series designed to provide valuable insights, resources, and strategies to support your child’s personal growth.
These hour-long workshops are FREE to Riverbend families and the greater MetroWest community. For our in-person events, we’re delighted to offer free childcare with pizza dinner exclusively for Riverbend families.
