Addison Trail parents/guardians invited to join group that offers programming for Spanish-speaking families

District 88 is proud to have a diverse school community – about 50 languages are represented among its families, and almost half of the nearly 4,000 students at District 88 speak a language other than English at home. District 88’s core values include ensuring all students, staff and community members feel safe, valued, respected and welcome.

To help accomplish that goal, Addison Trail hosts Padres Latinos en Acción (Latino Parents in Action), which meets monthly to connect with Spanish-speaking families. Through that group, parents/guardians increase their knowledge of the school system to help their children achieve at the highest level. Meeting topics include information on accessing college, financial aid, rigorous academic programming, social-emotional concerns and community issues.
