Papá-paloosa and Parent University The district’s final Parent University of the 2015-2016 school year was held in conjunction with the popular Papápaloosa event April 30 at Swift Elementary. Papá-paloosa, in its sixth year, is an awareness event that brings together Dads Clubs from across the district and encourages parents – and especially fathers – to participate in their child’s educational experience. Pairing Papápaloosa with Parent University was a hit. More than twodozen resource fair participants greeted guests, and Parent University featured parent workshops to help gain ideas and tips for summer success. Parents and students enjoyed bounce houses, entertainment, food and more. Arlington School & Family 17
