MERIDIAN, Miss. (Queen City Newsfeed) – The Meridian Public School District will host its annual Parent University later this month, offering families resources and information aimed at supporting student success.
The event is scheduled for Thursday, March 19, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at The MAX, the Mississippi Arts + Entertainment Experience.
District officials say Parent University is designed to provide families with tools and connections to help their children succeed both academically and personally. The event will include financial literacy workshops, school information sessions, parent resources and opportunities to connect with community partners.
Adrian Cross-Phillips, the district’s parent and community engagement specialist, said the event focuses on strengthening the role of families in education.
