MCEC 360 Summits provide opportunities for cross-sector collaboration, idea sharing, and programming support, as well as discuss the benefits of Purple Star Readiness – and how to apply for or sustain designation. The Summit is open to professionals, students, and parents of our military-connected children.
The event is free of charge. Professional development sessions include MCEC's Military-Connected Youth in Caregiver Roles and Supporting Military Children through School Transitions: Foundations. This event also offers interaction with MCEC community liaisons and School Liaisons, Student 2 Student introduction for school groups, and a Tell Me A Story event for families.
Please register by October 10 for the professional development and parent events, and October 11 for the student event.
This 360 Summit is funded through the Texas Education Agency.
