WEBINAR - Beyond Rankings: How Auxiliary Programs Support the “Best School Fit” Conversation

Join School First for a timely conversation about The Best School Fit Movement, a national effort encouraging families and schools to put children — not rankings — at the center of admissions decisions.

Led by School First Co-Presidents Linda Talton and Wendy Wilkinson, this webinar will explore how auxiliary programs can help families better understand a school’s culture, values, community, and student experience. From summer and extended day to enrichment, athletics, arts, and other programs, auxiliary offerings can serve as powerful entry points for helping families identify the school that truly fits. Together, we will discuss how auxiliary leaders can support right-fit messaging, strengthen admissions and enrollment conversations, and help students find communities where they can grow, belong, and thrive.  We look forward to sharing our vision, our work and our hope that you join our conversation and brainstorm ways we can all play a role in helping students thrive by finding their best school (and auxiliary programs).

PRESENTERS: Wendy D. Wilkinson, M.Ed. and Linda K. Talton, M.Ed. (Co-Presidents, School First)
