Unit 4 Schools is gearing up to celebrate National African American Parent Involvement Day (NAAPID) with a series of events designed to welcome and engage families. On February 9th, schools across the District will host a variety of activities, including classroom visits, student performances, guest speakers, and community discussions. NAAPID is an opportunity for parents, guardians, and community members to connect with schools and celebrate the importance of family involvement in education.
Below is an overview of events happening at each school. Please contact your child’s school if you have any questions.
