@Marie Alessi suggested a multiple selector vs only one. We are spread across multiple time zones and for ease of coordination, especially in the early going, this will help. The survey tool with Skool doesn't give the option to select multiple answers. I have to use my CRM tool (don't worry, it doesn't require any personal information). Select the ones that could work for you. I'll publish the results Click here for the survey. It will take you to my Constant Contact tool.

I'd love your input. So far, I have 10 parents waiting for admission next Thursday at noon when we officially open. That feels like a good starting point. My original hope was that parents would connect organically. That will come, just not yet. Early on, structure matters. This space is about sharing and community. For now, I’d like to schedule Parent Drop-In times. My thinking: - One scheduled drop-in every 2-3 days - Set times, so you can plan - No pressure to attend every one - If you meet someone you connect with, you can continue privately through chat I need your help deciding timing. What times work for your life? Please answer the poll.If you’d rather share context or ideas, message me directly. I appreciate you being part of this early. I won't abuse the email tool, I promise. I don't want to add to your inbox woes. It may be a little more frequent in the early stages. Thank you for helping to shape this community. Chris

I want to know what would be useful for you guys as parents? Resources, facilitated discussion rooms, expert guest speakers, Meet and greets with other parents going through similar challenges? This is about engagement, sharing and helping or seeking help. Tell us what would be really valuable for you? What would make you want to hang out here more often? It's going to take some time to build momentum on here, but I want to make this a great place to hangout.
