NEW THIS YEAR: PARENT WORKSHOPS AND CHILDCARE OFFERED DURING CONFERENCES
Parents have more opportunities to learn. During Family/Educator Conferences on Mar. 7 and Mar. 8, District 96 instructional coaches will provide workshops for District 96 parents. 

Parents attending Family Educator Conferences at Willow Grove Early Learning Center and District elementary schools may receive childcare for children ages 2 and up. The children signed in may remain in the school cafeteria for quiet activities with District 96 staff while their parents attend conferences or parent workshops in the building.
