MCVSD Parent Night

A Letter From Mr. Joe Senerchia
MCVSD Director of School Counseling Services

To Parents/Guardians:

In an effort to educate the parents/guardians of our school community, the Monmouth County Vocational School District is hosting a Parent Night to provide information and resources to parents/guardians of our High School students. The event will focus on providing families with tools to help build resiliency and coping mechanisms in their child. High school students may be experiencing school and social pressures and it is critical for parents to have resources to support their child’s social and emotional development. After a brief presentation, we will have information tables set up for parents to gather information and resources from various community agencies and providers.

You’re Invited…
