BPAC is for all families participating in our Dual Language and ESL Program.
Starting with the 2024-25 school year, these meetings will now be offered in both English and Spanish to allow more families to participate. BPAC gathers four times a year to dive into important topics related to U-46 programs and the community.
Also new this year, the sessions of the Dual Language Parent Support Group will be offered as part of the BPAC gathering.
Families who participate in all four sessions will have the chance to enter a raffle for an iPad awarded at the last meeting.
