A series of free workshops sponsored by Fayette County Public Schools will offer guided steps for better parent-child relationships and more effective discipline.

Called Systematic Training for Effective Parenting, the eight weekly sessions will last 1.5 hours each and are open to all Fayette County parents and their children. The workshops will be facilitated by Dr. Jason Snow and include information about child and parent behavior, positive listening, giving encouragement, family meetings and developing children’s responsibilities and confidence. Classes will be held 6:30-8 p.m. on Tuesdays starting Jan. 22 through March 19 at J.C. Booth Middle School, 250 Peachtree Parkway in Peachtree City. Space is limited and early registration is encouraged through www.fcboe.org.

Childcare is not available, and no enrollments will be accepted after the third class.

Protestors demonstrate against the war in Gaza and the detention of Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil at Emory University in Atlanta on March 20, 2025. The 30-year-old legal U.S. resident was detained by federal immigration agents in March. An Atlanta-based law firm has filed a lawsuit against the federal government arguing it illegally terminated the immigration records of five international students and two alumni from Georgia colleges, including one from Emory University.
