ISACS Parent Webinar & UHS Discussion Sign Up
To provide space and time for parents to come together to discuss some of the biggest topics affecting youth today, University High School is offering a series of free parent webinars and discussion groups as part of a program hosted by the Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS), our accrediting association. SACS has long been a resource for professional development for faculty and staff, but over the next month they are offering four live webinars with nationally renowned presenters exclusively for independent school parents.
University parents who register will have the opportunity to participate in the live webinars, presented on Wednesday evenings, or receive a link to the recordings. To complement these webinars, University faculty and staff will then host a follow-up discussion on subsequent Monday evenings where we will discuss the topics with a University-specific lens.
Below please find details for all four of the ISACS Parent Series webinars and their accompanying University High School parent discussions. Note: please register at least 24 hours prior to each webinar.
