Classes happen 3-4 times a month. We have two different times and days:
- Wednesdays, 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.
- Tuesdays, 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
All classes are online via Zoom. You need a device with a camera and microphone — even a smartphone will do — to participate.
When you first book the class, the registration system sends out a confirmation booking email along with another email with the class information and Zoom link. Please check your spam/junk folder. If you do not receive the email, please email us right away so you have the link for the class.
If you have ever previously taken the Clackamas County parent education class, you do not need to take it again, even if you have a new court case, unless a judge specifically orders you to re-take it.
