Dear Parents of Project Arrow students:

Welcome to another great year as the parent of a Project Arrow student. Thank you for the opportunity to introduce the Indian Prairie Project Arrow PTA. Formed in 2009, IPPA PTA gives a unified voice to parents of PA students. As parents of these exceptional children, we support one another and learn how to become successful advocates for their educational needs.

The plan for this year:

 Increase awareness of resources available

 Help facilitate communication between parents of students in the program

 Hold district-wide events including speakers for parents and enrichment events for children

 Provide a roadmap of the PA program in District 204

 Be proactive on legislative matters affecting the program

Please take a moment to join IPPA PTA and plan to attend our September 28th meeting at 7:30 pm at the Crouse Education Center, 780 Shoreline Drive, Aurora.

Get connected with IPPA PTA – we have a Google group (provide your email to [email protected]), Facebook page (search Indian Prairie Project Arrow PTA) and the district website (www.ipsd.org click Organizations)

Regards, Audrey J. Clair President IPPA PTA [email protected]
