Summary
A CCSD 62 BPAC representative described the district's Bilingual Parent Advisory Committee, monthly meetings, a summer parent university with family trips, free childcare at events, and community celebrations including El Día del Niño.
A BPAC representative for CCSD 62 introduced the District 62 Bilingual Parent Advisory Committee during a district meeting, outlining monthly meetings, a summer parent university program with Friday trips, and free childcare at all events.
The committee, the representative said, is "a welcoming community of bilingual parents, teachers, and community members who share a deep commitment to supporting our students, schools, and the community." The BPAC steering committee, the representative added, helps guide and plan meetings so "every voice — parent, teacher, and community member — is heard and valued."
The representative described the committee's activities as a way to gather "important insights about what our students and families need," engage in open conversations about issues that affect schools and set goals to enhance student learning experiences. Beyond monthly meetings, the district offers a summer parent university with special parent sessions and "fun Friday trips designed to help parents learn more about the district and get answers to their questions," the representative said.
The representative also described recurring celebrations and outreach the group supports, including an annual BPAC tree at the Metropolitan Squares holiday event, observances of El Día del Niño and Multilingual Learner Advocacy Month, and other cultural festivities. The presentation closed with an open invitation: "If you're a multilingual parent or community member passionate about making a difference, we warmly invite you to join us."
