Taking Parent Camp on The Road

The Techies at Heat Team will be taking the concept of the Parent Camp on the road to the 4th annual Arcadia Innovation Summit on Friday, June 22, 2018 at Arcadia High School.

Parent Summit

An Outstanding Parent Camp

Wow! what an amazing day of learning for our parents. The Parent Camp was a huge success. Parents started the day being inspired by our Superintendent Dr. Garcia and Guest Speaker Randy Jurado Ertll. From there, parents attended great informational sessions taught by a great group of professional educators. The knowledge parents took away from the Parent Camp will go straight into helping them better support their child's learning. The Parent Camp allowed our community to come together and grow as one large huge family. Oh... And did we mention the food was delicious! We cannot wait for the next Parent Camp
