(apologies for the additional email announcement, separate from last week’s eNews)
This Thursday, 9 AM to 10:30 AM, the MS Administration will be hosting our first Principal’s Forum of the year, in MPB 3.
Questions and topics were submitted to the MS PTA representatives and shared with school administration. We have planned the following agenda to address these concerns. For those topics that were asked about or we do not have enough time for, we will prepare written answers for this coming week’s eNews.
Topics were selected based on the amount of questions surrounding the topic as well as the possibility of discussion around the issue. Some items are more easily answered by communicating via eNews (i.e. they require less discussion).
Agenda for MS Principal’s Forum – Nov 12, 2015 (MPB 3)
- World Languages – consistency of learning program, expectations, learning experience, mother tongue program
- Math – description of new program, clarity on time and curriculum, addressing “gaps” in learning and understanding
- Flex Program – brief overview, wellness program, L2L/Advisory initiative, transitions program explained, overview of Sex Ed in MS
- PowerSchool – how it is being used, how it should be used, understanding what you see there, future parent training
- Involvement outside of school – what role does the school play outside the gates and outside the school hours?
- Other topics if time allows – Tutors, Home Learning policy, Haiku, Parent Conferences, carrying the laptops
We look forward to seeing you on Thursday.
