One school I worked with wanted to be both a <em>mesivta <\/em>and a college prep program but their college advisor didn\u2019t know the deadlines for the SAT. Others proclaim that parents are their partners but don\u2019t really know that more than half the parent body not only feels disenfranchised but publicizes this discontent to present and potential parents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativecommunicationsgroup.com\/wordpress\/the-masks-we-wear-part-ii\/\"><u><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Click<\/span> here to read The Masks We Wear &#8211; part II<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Should your masks need a re-haul or just some tweaking,\u00a0please reach out to me.
