PDAC promises to engage in active conversation concerning issues that are important to you.
We promise to stand along side you when you need an advocate.
We promise to work with the district to ensure all families and students in our community feel welcomed in their respective school building and in their classrooms.
We promise to continue to bring awareness to the meaning of equity.
And most importantly we promise to advance District 204's commitment to equity and educational excellence always.

Educational Equity is when educational practices, policies, curricula, resources, and school cultures are representative of all students, such that each student has access to, participate in and make progress in high quality learning experiences, regardless of her or his race, sex, gender, ability, religion affiliation, national origin, linguistic diversity, or other characteristics.
