National African American Parent Involvement Day (NAAPID) is a day for all parents to come to their child's school, see what their day is like and to support their child's educational future. Some of the goals of NAAPID are to:

• Promote parent involvement in their child's education.
• Address the serious achievement gap facing African American students.
• Promote and provide strategies for all parents and students to take full advantage of the educational process at all levels of the educational system (preschool through college).
