We thank all of our families who joined us this evening for our Family Leadership Institute Graduation. This event was filled with celebrations of ISD families who completed a three-week virtual workshop program in partnership with the National Association for Bilingual Education (NABE). 97 ISD families learned ways to engage and communicate better with their children, school, and community. We look forward to celebrating more accomplishments across Isaac.
