In response to the valuable feedback gathered from the 2023 Parent/Guardian Survey, the DCPIC hosted a successful Parent Resource Conference on January 13 at Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School.
This event delivered essential insights for attending parents, guardians, and caregivers, addressing their specific needs and concerns.
Featured topics included:
- STEAM and AI engagement with a maker approach
- Literacy education strategies for home
- Health issues and prevention for vaping and tobacco use in youths
- Hands-on math workshops for parents
- Discussions on youth engagement regarding substance use
Keynote speaker Michael Way Skinner added a delightful touch of humor to his perspectives on being Catholic parents in challenging times, resonating well with attendees as he explored topics like brain development and sources of hope for families.
The sessions not only provided a wealth of knowledge but also fostered connections among parents, educators, and health professionals.
The committee extends gratitude to those who braved challenging weather conditions to contribute to the conference’s success. Sincere thanks to all attendees, speakers, and volunteers for making this event a meaningful experience for our community.
