Description

The WRDSB Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) and Waterloo Region Assembly of Public School Councils (WRAPSC) are excited to announce this sixth annual parent conference SATURDAY APRIL 8 at Bluevale Collegiate Institute: Empowering Students with Parent Engagement.

The conference schedule kicks off with a dynamic Father/Daughter keynote presenting Royan & Yumi Lee, "If You’re Not Learning Together, You’re Doing it Wrong”. Workshops throughout the day cover a variety of topics including mindfulness, creative learning, nutrition, power of optimism, emotional intelligence, and so much more! The conference will close with remarks shared by Bryan Larkin, Chief of Police for the Waterloo Regional Police Service. Visit www.wrdsb.ca/pic for a full listing of the session descriptions.

This FREE event is an amazing opportunity for our families within the WRDSB! Join us for the full day or a part of the day as your schedule permits. All parents and guardians of WRDSB students are invited to attend. Free childcare for children 2-11 is provided (children must be out of diapers) and registration for this service is required.
