Parent University

About

A quality public education is the result of a strong partnership between school districts and their communities. Barrington 220's Parent University provides free, in-person, and virtual information sessions throughout the school year covering specific topics that help parents support their children as they move through the Barrington 220 School District. 

In addition to our offerings, Barrington 220 is a member of the Family Action Network (FAN), a 501(c)(3) organization that curates a high-quality speaker series each academic year. All FAN programs are free and open to the public.
