Dear Parents, Guardians and Caregivers,
As we enter the final few weeks of the 2023-2024 school year, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the events we have had over the past few months.
Recently, we celebrated National Volunteer Week from April 14-20, 2024 and the committee acknowledged and thanked our dedicated recipients of the 2023-2024 Distinguished Catholic Volunteer Awards. I want to personally thank all the recipients for their contributions to their school communities.
The annual DCPIC Parent/Guardian Survey has been distributed, and further information can be found in an article below. The results of the survey will help the committee determine strategic directions for the 2024-2025 school year.
On behalf of DCPIC, I want to thank all parents, guardians and caregivers for their continued partnership. Our Catholic School Councils have been continuing to engage with their school communities in new and creative ways.
I hope that you all have a safe, healthy and happy summer! DCPIC is looking forward to sharing new resources, events and activities with families in the fall.
Yours in Faith,
Rose LoPresti
Chair, Durham Catholic Parent Involvement Committee
