June 5 (Tuesday), 7pm to 9pm
Lincoln School Media Room (second floor)
The faculty of the District 97 in-curricular language programs -- Partial Spanish Immersion Program (PSIP), World Language FLES, and Middle Level -- invites all District 97 parents to become involved in the World Language Advisory Committee’s newly created Parent Group (WLACPG) and at the school PTO level as a language advocate or liaison to the WLAC.
The WLAC has set specific goals and objectives for the 2007-08 academic year, aligned with those of the emerging District 97 strategic plan. While much of the work will be done by faculty, these goals can only be reached if there is parent participation.
It would be helpful in preparation for the meeting to review the WLAC vision and goals, by downloading the presentation “Language Communities in Oak Park” at : www.op97.org/curriculum/worldlang/index.html
Parent involvement has been key in the development of our long standing language learning tradition. In order to strengthen and continue that, it is essential to have focused and sustained parent involvement. We estimate time commitment for the WLACPG will be about four hours a month, and about 1 hour a month for PTO (not including other PTO commitments that may be requested by school PTOs).
We invite you to an open parent meeting on June 5 at Lincoln School 7-9 pm to discuss the WLACPG and PTO participation. We urge all parents interested in the future of language in District 97 schools to attend this meeting. We look forward to our continued work together.
