Did you catch the final Pirate Parents Live in our Umbrella Family Series? If not, don’t worry – you can watch it now!
During the month of March, we are holding a Pirate Parents Live series on Umbrella Families. What is an Umbrella Family? An Umbrella family is one where a parent, sibling, grandparent, etc. stands next to their student, holding the umbrella for them, that way the student’s hands are free to experience life at ECU. Our mission is to equip parents and families with their “umbrella,” the tools and resources needed to support their students.
