PDAC: Strengthening the Home and School Bond

The District 204 Parent Diversity Advisory Council (PDAC) invites the Indian Prairie Unit District 204 community to the meeting on Oct. 18, when the discussion will be about “Strengthening the Home and School Bond.”
 The PDAC welcomes the following speakers to the discussion: Dina Lohman, president of the Indian Prairie Parents’ Council; Jean Donovan, DuPage West region director for the Illinois PTA; Matthew Rodriguez, diversity chair for the Illinois PTA; Nore L. Hare, national service representative for the National PTA. 
Discussions and presentations will focus on the alignment of local, state and national PTA diversity initiatives, and the support PDAC can provide in realizing PTA objectives. Together, the PDAC and PTAs can partner to increase parental involvement in every school. Many helpful strategies will be shared for building the home-school bond with your PTA, as well as the PDAC.
