Parent University

Parent University, a series of free informational sessions to support the academic life of children, will be held on Saturday, April 27, at Riverview High School, 11311 Boyette Rd., Riverview, from 8 a.m. to noon.

Parent University is a collaboration of the Alliance for Public Schools, Hillsborough County PTA, Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office and the United Way.

This event will offer sessions focused on academic and support programs in Hillsborough County Public Schools, effective strategies families can use to help every child succeed, and ways to advocate for the resources necessary for public schools.
