         <title>Parents are finding different ways to show support. Emails and gift cards. Zoom also makes it easier for parents to join a meeting. Conferences were well-attended and many really liked doing them over Zoom. Overall huge appreciation for education and educators. Parents are grateful for what they haven&#39;t seen before. </title>
