Newsletters Newsletters are sent home periodically by the District, the school principal, PTA and teachers to inform parents about school events. All parents are encouraged to join and attend general meetings which are announced in the newsletter and in our school calendar. Your support of our PTA and your child's school activities are the single most important activity you can do to insure your child's success. Volunteers Big Tree School invites and encourages parents and friends to participate in their child's education program. The presence of parents and other adults helps to develop a sense of community.
Parents are sometimes hesitant to volunteer because they feel they have nothing special to offer.
Your very presence is special. Volunteering at Big Tree need not involve any particular skills or even spending time at the school. There are many possibilities. The Board of Education has adopted a policy of School Conduct and Discipline affecting students from Kindergarten to Grade 12. An Elementary Student handbook has been compiled so that students and their parents understand school rules as well as the consequences when rules are not followed.
