Urbana School District #116 schools will host several National African American Parent Involvement Day (NAAPID) activities for families on Feb. 12.
National African American Parent Involvement Day (NAAPID) is a day for all parents to come to their child’s school, see what their day is like and to support their child’s educational future. Some of the goals of NAAPID are to:
