District 102 celebrates its diversity and multilingual population of parents and students. We welcome new families, build relationships, and strive to provide and clarify information needed for students to fully engage in learning opportunities and family events. D102 hosts meetings throughout the year to improve our reach to bilingual parents, as well as to share and receive feedback.

BPAC Meetings

The Bilingual Parent Advisory Committee (BPAC) meets no fewer than four times each year to advise parents on areas across the district’s learning community and review progress. We are thankful for the ongoing support of our parents who serve to plan and share with others during these activities.
