Parent FYI Newsletter

Geneva College - Parent FYI Newsletter

Welcome!

The purpose of Parents FYI is to combine important information from Geneva College to parents of Geneva students into one email communication. We hope it is valuable, particularly at this time when we are forced to provide online education and are communicating via electronic technology. It will be sent to you every Wednesday through the rest of the Spring 2020 semester. If you have feedback or questions regarding Parents FYI, please contact editor@geneva.edu.
