Students academic and social growth is evaluated quarterly with the use of progress reports. Parental Involvement Parents are introduced to Maple Lane School at their child s incoming IEPT meeting. In March, we invited parents to meet with staff to review their child s progress. Two parent support groups meet weekly, year round. While special presentations are made based upon interest, the format is usually informal, allowing parents to discuss their concerns in a supportive environment.
Parents volunteer to assist in field day events.
Members of the parent support group hosted an open house during field day to give parents a place to take a break and become acquainted with new friends. Many families collected Campbell s labels, and took part in other fund-raisers, helping the school earn needed items. Twenty-seven students shared occasional afternoons with the residents of the American House Retirement Home. Students sang songs and made gifts and ornaments for the residents. Phase II of our playground was completed this fall.
