Northwestern High School
7000 Adelphi Road Hyattsville, MD

Presented by The Maryland State Parental Information
and Resource Center (MD PIRC)

In Partnership with the Maryland State Department of Education, the  
University of Maryland's Engaged University, Prince George's County  
Public Schools, and other school districts and community organizations

The evidence is clear. When schools, communities and families work  
together to support learning, everyone benefits.  To that end, a  
Special Advisory Committee composed of experienced educators, social  
service professionals, students, community members, and parents have  
organized a conference to provide families and caregivers in Central  
and Northern Maryland with the information and strategies they are  
seeking to ensure their children's success in school and beyond. Child  
Care and a Kid's Track are also available.

Join us and learn how to be your child's best teacher and guide for a  
lifetime!

Featured Speakers: Jolene Ivey - Founder of Mocha Moms,
& MD State Delegate; Glenn Ivey - State's Attorney, Prince George's  
County; and Ana Sol Gutierrez - MD State Delegate
