Welcome to the Newcomer Network Conference 2026! We are excited to welcome educators, leaders, counselors, and advocates from across California who are committed to creating equitable, inclusive, and empowering learning experiences for newcomer students and families.
As part of this growing network, you are joining a community dedicated to strengthening systems of support, elevating multilingual voices, and advancing meaningful instructional practices that help newcomer students thrive. Together, we will learn from one another, reflect on promising practices, and continue building strong roots for multilingual newcomer learning.
Thank you for being part of this important work. We look forward to learning, connecting, and growing alongside you this October in Merced.
