About the Family Network

Arlington Public Schools (APS) PTAs, through their family network committees, have a long history of presenting speakers on issues of importance to parents. (Have speaker ideas? Volunteer at your school’s PTA!) The PTAs work with the Arlington Partnership for Children, Youth and Families and the APS Department of Student Services to bring the best speakers to Arlington. We add sessions all year long. To add your high school, middle school, or elementary school family network events to this calendar send them to dlmarsh3@juno.com or contact your school representative.

Things We Wish We’d Known about the College Search Process

“Things We Wish We’d Known About the College Search Process (but didn’t know enough to ask!)”

On Wednesday, October 6, 7-9PM at Yorktown High School, we’re kicking off this year’s series of Family Network events with an old favorite.  A panel of experienced parents whose children just went through the college application process will share their thoughts.  What worked?  What would they do differently?  For several years, we’ve hosted a similar event and it’s always been a big hit.  Come with your ideas and your questions.
