This gives parents a chance to see where their child will be during the the school year. Parent conferences are held in November and April. Some of our staff is experimenting with ways to include students in three way conferences. They provide an opportunity for students to present their learning to parents with guidance from the teacher. Many teachers also send home weekly newsletters that keep parents informed about the learning that is taking place in the classroom.
Monthly newsletters supply information about the whole school.
This small but highly dedicated group meets monthly on the second Tuesday of the month. The PTA conducts various fund raising activities during the course of the year. From the money raised the PTA funds special enrichment assemblies, field trips for all grades, an honor roll skate for students making the honor roll, a scholarship for graduating seniors, popsicles for field day, a pizza party for our top RIF readers, sixth grade graduation, donations to Right Start Summer tutoring and the D.A.R.E. program, and a new message sign. The PTA also helps our school by staffing a wide variety of school service events. Almost 400 food items were collected for make a difference day.
