Half-day multilingual parent involvement conferences covering topics such as how the school system works, getting answers, testing, and grading schools will be held at three locations around Miami-Dade County on Saturday morning, Oct. 23.

Simultaneous conferences will be held at North Miami Senior High School, 800 N.E. 137 St.; Miami Central Senior High School, 1781 N.W. 95 St.; and Miami Killian Senior High School, 10655 S.W. 97 Ave.

Registration and continental breakfast at each conference is scheduled from 7:45 to 8:30 a.m., followed by a general session. Three sequential series of workshops will cover the role of parents in educating their children and in becoming involved in school affairs.
