2008 Parent walkabout is Sep. 23
Date: September 25, 2007 from 6 to 9pm
Don't miss this opportunity to meet your child's new teachers.
Parents follow their child's schedule through the school, visiting each
classroom for 15 minutes. It's a great snapshot of your child's day
at school.
At Walkabout, come by the PAC table in the foyer. We will have
lots of information for parents about upcoming events at Kits, and
several PAC fundraisers.
PAC will have
beautiful
note cards for sale, featuring our favourite print of Kits by parent and
artist Barb Wood. Book
Plates will be available as well, which you can purchase for $10
each. Each
book plate is placed in a new purchase for our library, and will
provide
a lasting momento of your child or family. All proceeds go directly to
our library.
Usborne Books will also
have a display and sale. Profits from all Usborne purchases will
be donated to our library, so come and see the great new selections.
Don't miss Walkabout night... and don't forget your cheque book. PAC
depends on your support for fundraising.
Helpful tip
from
a Kits grade counselor: when your student goes out with friends after
school,
get the last name of at least one of the friends. If you need to reach
your
student while he/she is out, the last name of a friend often helps. The
counselor reported that they sometimes get calls after school for help
finding
a student who is out with friends, and if the last name of a friend is
not
known, there is little that can be done.
re Parent Walk About
“Studies show beyond dispute that children's achievements in school
improves with increased parent involvement in education." (Henderson,
1998)
One of the many ways you can show your interest in your child’s
education is by attending the Parent Walk About.
Whether you are new to Kitsalino, or the parent of a returning student,
this is a wonderful way to familiarize yourself with your children’s
schedules, meet their teachers, find out their expectations, visit
different classroom environments and connect with other parents.
As each classroom visit is only ten minutes long, personal concerns
are better addressed in parent-teacher conferences or privately
arranged
face-to-face meetings.
See you at the school!
