To participate in this year’s Black Parent Involvement Day, please register to receive additional information about how to get involved. By signing up, you will also receive information about the challenges and impact of education for Black children and their communities.
Black Parent Participation Day is a great opportunity to re-introduce yourself to your child’s teachers, and to learn how you can help your child be academically successful.
Observe and learn about the lessons presented in your child’s classes. What are the current assignments and projects? How do teachers conduct their classes? How well do students participate?
Participating in your child’s classes is a great way to learn more about what your child needs to be more successful in class. Use the opportunity to learn about your child’s strengths and challenges and how you can help.
After you’ve had a chance to observe your child’s classes, share what you learned with other parents so that you can work together to improve the academic success of your and other children.
Black Parent Involvement Day will be held on Tuesday, February 16th. It’s a day for parents to visit and observe the learning activities of your child’s classrooms.
Even during the COVID-19 crisis, BPSB invites parents to introduce themselves to teachers and observe the learning activities their of scholars. This special day is a way for parents to further build a rapport with teachers and to learn more about how to help their scholars succeed in their classes.
Parents who plan to participate in Black Parent Involvement Day can attend a training on how to observe classes and interact with teachers.

Our Parent Organizers, Marian and Ursula are very active in the Sacramento City Unified School District, and they will be able to assist with questions and complaints concerning the academic achievement of your children.
Marian and Ursula assist several parents navigating the IEP process in the district. They sit in on School Site Council meetings to advocate for the educational needs of Black children, while also consistently working to encourage Black parents to get involved with the BPSB.
Marian and Ursula are valuable resources to BPSB and Black community.
All parents know how important the academic success of their children is to their growth and wellbeing.
African Americans have historically fought hard for public schooling and the rights of their children to receive a quality education, despite forms of racial discrimination. Black parents know how important the academic success is to the growth and wellbeing of their children.
Despite the challenges of COVID-19 pandemic, Black parents in the Sacramento City Unified School District, as well as across the country have been meeting the challenges of insuring their children get the resources and education the need.
Over ten years ago, St. Paul Public School in Minnesota started hosting a National African American Involvement Day on the second Monday of February. Since 2015, BPSB has continued that tradition locally with Black Parent Involvement Day for the purpose of encouraging parents to be actively knowledgeable their children’s education.
