Lawndale Unified staff and community liaisons invited parents to several upcoming opportunities for training, volunteer work and curriculum feedback.
Saraí, the community liaison at William Green, described a free adult English program the district offers in three levels. Staff said levels 1 and 2 include onsite childcare; level 3 is offered through El Camino College and does not include district childcare. Registration was available after the meeting at the district office and by contacting school liaisons.
Staff also promoted a March conference for multilingual families and educators (referred to in the meeting as “CAE 2025,” scheduled March 26–29 in Long Beach). The presenter and parents said the conference is a place to learn strategies to support English learners and to bring ideas back to Lawndale schools.
Other family opportunities included parent workshops for families with children ages 2–4 on Jan. 21 and Feb. 11 (morning sessions) and Feb. 22 and March 5 (afternoon sessions). Staff listed volunteer roles such as library helpers and urged parents to speak with site principals about attending conferences and workshops, noting childcare is often a constraint for participants.
The district also invited parents to review K–5 science curriculum samples and provide feedback at a region meeting on Jan. 29; staff said the review will focus on primary grade science choices and will last about 30 minutes in a scheduled session so parents can evaluate program samples and ask questions. Parents were encouraged to coordinate with their School Site Council to request participation funding or childcare where available.
Staff asked parents to check ParentSquare for meeting calendars — including APAC (Jan. 16), a special‑needs family support meeting (Jan. 28) and other regional events — and to contact community liaisons to register or request printed materials if attending by Zoom.
