Education and Information for students and parents both is a goal of mine. We need to work together to help our youth in this community and we often don't know where to find help or information. The purpose of this page is two fold.
1) Educate parents on the rights and needs of their child
2) Provide parents with the power and information needed to help our youth and ourselves.
On this page you will find helpful resources and links. Some are within the Creve Coeur Community, others are online. If you have any suggestions on improving this site or on helpful additions, please feel free to email me at the contact link above.
Regards,
Mr. Heubi
