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.
As promised, we are having a working meeting on October 1st, from 7 to 9pm at Lincoln School's Media Center (Library). The goal is to review goals and match parents to help faculty meet specific goals.
If you are interested in becoming involved for a few hours a week, 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” and downloading the WLAC 2007-08 goals.
Parent involvement has been key in the development of our long standing language learning tradition in Oak Park. If you know of other parents that you have a good working relationship with who may be interested being involved with specific working committees, or to be involved with individual PTO's as a language representative, please invite them to come to this working meeting.
We thank the citizens who have signed up thus far for their continued interest in being involved, and we look forward to a successful and productive year.
