Initially launched in 2022, the Parent University program consisted of numerous evenings throughout the school year where parents/guardians could attend in-person sessions to learn more about key information and resources in the Urbandale Community School District. Attendee feedback following those sessions prompted the development of this Parent University online resource hub which enables parents/guardians the ability to access content at their convenience.

Through this hub, you’ll find videos of key information and resources to help you support your child in their learning experience. Content will be updated on an ongoing basis. We appreciate your partnership as we work together to support all students in their journey of lifelong learning!
