Agenda
9:00     Kick-off opening

9:30     Biliteracy Pre-k through 12 in Pharr-San Juan-Alamo ISD
Students and parents present on the benefits and successes of being fully proficient in Spanish and in English when you graduate from high school.

10:30   Comunitario PTA
The Comunitario PTA model is an innovative approach to school-family-community collaboration. A Comunitario PTA is a parent group that is based in a community-based organization, rather than in a single school. And their sole purpose is to collaborate with schools to improve the success of students.

11:30   Mesa Comunitaria ~ Family Leadership Projects
The PTA Comunitarios and other organizations in the lower Rio Grande Valley surveyed more than 1,600 parents about Texas’ new graduation requirements, reported on it and are now conducting new activities to inform the community and to work with their schools to ensure children are on the path to college.

12:30   Full group back together
