National African American Parent Involvement Day 2022

National African American Parent Involvement Day (NAAPID) is a day for parents to visit their children’s schools, see what their children experience daily at school, and to support their children’s educational futures.  Retired educator and former principal, Joe Dulin, created NAAPID in 1995. Mr. Dulin believes parents are among a school’s most important assets. “NAAPID is not just for black people –– it’s for all people,” Dulin says. “It comes during Black History Month, and I thought it was a tremendous time to introduce it as a project for parents to get into our schools to exchange notes, phone numbers, emails, have conversations and get in touch with the teachers.”


La Journée nationale de participation des parents afro-américains (NAAPID) est une journée permettant aux parents de visiter les écoles de leurs enfants, de voir ce que leurs enfants vivent quotidiennement à l’école et de soutenir l’avenir éducatif de leurs enfants. Éducateur à la retraite et ancien directeur, Joe Dulin, a créé NAAPID en 1995. M. Dulin croit que les parents sont parmi les atouts les plus importants d’une école. “NAAPID n’est pas seulement pour les Noirs – c’est pour tout le monde”, dit Dulin. “Cela arrive pendant le Mois de l’histoire des Noirs, et j’ai pensé que c’était un moment formidable pour le présenter comme un projet permettant aux parents d’entrer dans nos écoles pour échanger des notes, des numéros de téléphone, des e-mails, avoir des conversations et entrer en contact avec les enseignants.”

El Día Nacional de Participación de Padres Afroamericanos (NAAPID) es un día para que los padres visiten las escuelas de sus estudiantes, vean lo que  hacen diariamente en la escuela y apoyen su futuro educativo. El educador jubilado y ex director, Joe Dulin, creó NAAPID en 1995. El Sr. Dulin cree que los padres son una de las partes más importantes de una escuela. “NAAPID no es solo para la comunidad Afroamericana, es para todas las comunidades”, Dulin dice. “Llega durante el Mes de la Historia Afroamericana, y pensé que era un gran momento para presentarlo como un proyecto para que los padres ingresen a nuestras escuelas para intercambiar notas, números de teléfono, correos electrónicos, tener conversaciones y ponerse en contacto con los maestros”.
