CMSD Parent University

Join Us for our First Session on Saturday, October 24, 2026

CMSD Parent University will host four district-level Saturday Family Learning Experiences during the 2026–2027 school year.

These in-person experiences are designed to help parents, caregivers, and scholars learn, connect, and access tools that support student success at home, at school, and beyond.

Each Parent University Saturday will include rotating sessions, CMSD departments, community partners, family resources, and opportunities for families to take what they learn and use it at their child’s school.

Families are encouraged to register in advance. Interpretation services and CMSD shuttle transportation may be available based on registration needs and advance requests. Early registration helps our team plan for family supports, session space, and event logistics.

All event details, including registration information, session descriptions, dates, and location, can be found at this link below.
