The symposium will include five sessions; registrants are asked to select two.

• Student Use of Texting and Social Media

• Preparing for Successful Parent-Teacher Conferences; Understanding Fall Assessments and Report Cards

The Learning for All Family Education Series is a coordinated, year-long effort centered around communicating the fundamental components of the work taking place in the District. The event literature states, “Together with our community partners, we have created a multitude of opportunities for our families to strengthen their understanding of the critical issues surrounding today's educational system, ranging from the state-wide adoption of the Common Core Standards to social media and strength-based parenting. We look forward to engaging with our community in conversations that focus on continuous improvement, student growth and supporting learning for all.” The District extends thanks to their community partners for support of the series, including the District’s SELAS Committee, the Family Resource Network, the District’s staff associations, and Hinsdale Township High School District 86, with special thanks to the D181 Foundation.
