📣🎓 PARENTS: LET'S TALK ABOUT STUDENT APATHY!

Have you heard your child say...

😩 “I don't care.”
📚 “School is boring.”
🤷🏽 “What's the point?”
📱 “I'll do it later.”

Or maybe you've noticed a child who once cared about school becoming unmotivated, disconnected, or uninterested.

Before we automatically call it “laziness,” let's ask a better question:

💭 What's really going on underneath the behavior?

Join us for our next Parent University Webinar Series:

🎓 Student Apathy: What Students and Teachers Need Most from Parents

📅 Thursday, October 15, 2026
⏰ 6:00 PM
💻 LIVE via Zoom

We'll talk about:

❤️ Connecting with an unmotivated child
🧠 Stress, mental health & motivation
📱 Technology, distractions & routines
📚 Academic struggles and confidence
🗣️ Communicating without constant arguments
👩🏽‍🏫 Building stronger parent-teacher partnerships
🌱 Helping students reconnect with their goals
🎯 Balancing support with accountability

AND THERE'S MORE! 👀🎉

🎁 One lucky viewer will win a $30 AMAZON GIFT CARD!

Parents, caregivers, students, educators, and community members are welcome!

Presented by the Chester County ECHO Coalition, Hazel Pittman Center, and Chester County School District.

💙 Sometimes “I don't care” doesn't mean a student has stopped caring. It may mean we need to start asking different questions.

📲 Join us on Zoom and be part of the conversation!
