Prime For Life (required)
The Lovett School requires this course for all parents of students in Grade 7 and new to Lovett students in Grade 8-12. Prime for Life for Parents provides a factual basis for understanding and communicating substance abuse issues to teens. The Lovett Parent Association assists in funding this course, which supports the school's community values and expectations. Information about enrollment is mailed to parents in August. An optional student version of the course, entitled Prime for Life-Under 21, is offered to students in Grades 7-12 on weekends during the school year and parents may choose to enroll their child. Contact Dianne Hiltman at (404) 634-2642 for more information.

Parent Support Groups
Parent Support Groups are initiated by parents in Grades 5-12 seeking to build relationships with other parents. Parents meet through informal gatherings--often over a casual box lunch--three times a year, and all parents in each grade level are notified and invited to attend. The gatherings serve as outlets for open communication among parents; identify grade-appropriate parenting issues; provide education and information that assist parents in making informed decisions; and occasionally offer guest speakers on pertinent topics. Parent Support Groups operate independently of the school. Donations of $25 per family are appreciated to cover expenses.
