Black Minds Matter!
Here’s some preliminary information about the meeting from Landon Dickey, Special Assistant to the Superintendent for African American Achievement & Leadership. (Learn more about Landon Dickey here.)
“The theme for the first meeting is “Black Minds Matter: Empowering Our Own to Start the Year Strong.”
Along with welcoming old and new members to a new year for the AAPAC, we will:
- hold a gallery walk demonstrating the goals of our different subcommittees,
- provide key tips and information for taking advantage of Back to School events and following your child’s academic progress, and
- share the AAPAC 2015 – 2016 Operating Guide the Parent Organization Subcommittee developed over the summer and a proposed statement from the AAPAC in support of the new math sequence.
FYI: Dinner and childcare will be provided… and ALL parents, grandparents, guardians of Black students are invited! That includes mixed race families, and non-Black parents of Black kids. We all invested in the success of our kids.
If you have questions or would like more information, contact Landon Dickey at SFUSD. I look forward to seeing you there! In the meantime…
