Harvard Community Unit School District 50 will host the next session in its Parent University series on Tuesday, Nov. 17, from 6-7 p.m. Each Parent University session is different, but the goal remains the same: work directly with families and share the information they need to help their students succeed.
The Nov. 17 Parent University will feature two separate meetings. One focuses on math for families of students in PreK through eighth grade. The other is for families of students grades 8-12 who are interested in earning college credit while still in high school.
