Parent meetings are a great idea! We just finished our formal parent meetings and actually make attendance of parents at a parent meeting a requirement for the students to be on the team. If the parents can't make one of the formal sessions we will schedule them for a session at their convenience.
Here is a link to a version of the presentation that we used a few years ago.

As you go through your 2nd successful season, remember that Team 1511 is just across town and we are available to help! We have lots of lessons learned to share!
