FORWARDING AS AN FYI

From:     Office of Minority and Multicultural Health

Monday, February 13, 2012 is National African American Parent Involvement Day, a day designed to stress the importance of African American parents and families getting involved in their child’s education and to celebrate the partnership between students, families and schools. The mission of Saint Paul Public Schools is to ensure that all children learn. African American Parent Involvement Day is not only for African American parents.

We invite all parents and extended family members to visit the schools on Monday, February 13. We know that family and community involvement is key to the educational success of our students.

 

For more information, please contact your school or the Office of Family Engagement & Community Partnerships at 651-767-8347.

 

It’s the law! Since 1990 Minnesota law has allowed every employee the right to 16 hours of leave during the school year to attend their child(ren)’s conferences or school related activities. You must let your employer know in advance.

 

Supported by Parents of African American Students Advisory Council
