School
Growth Planning Day - Reminder
|
|
|
Parents
are invited to attend the School Growth Planning Day on Friday 30 March
2007, 8:45 am - 3 pm at the Marine
Drive Golf Club.
All schools are required to produce a School Growth Plan annually. This plan
identifies areas where the school is doing "well" and those areas
which need improvement and every department identifies its goals depending on
where it feels it can improve.
The focus of this year's School Growth Plan has been on literacy and numeracy
and we took as our theme "Respect" from the words of our school
motto.
Parents get an opportunity to speak to teachers in a casual environment and
listen as groups of teachers identify some of the issues they face in the
school. Participants at last year's event came away with a much enhanced
appreciation of how the school runs.
This event would be of interest to those parents of younger students as
the decisions that are made at this meeting affect what happens at the school
for the following year.
This is an all day event but we recognize that some of you can only make the
particularly useful morning session and lunch.
Last year 12 parents were able to participate. If you would like to attend,
please send an email ASAP to Wendy Massing at gmassing@telus.net

great youth theatre production MIRROR/MIRROR will take place at the

Center (Davie and Pacific Boulevardon) on April
03 at 7:30pm (need to be there for 7pm to ensure seating).

witty theatrical production about life and depression.
This is a great opportunity for parents and kids to learn about this subject
together in a safe environment.

PAC's
Grocery Certificates
|
|
|
At absolutely no extra cost to you,
you can easily help our Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) raise money
for the school by using gift certificates/ cards from a large variety of
merchants to do your everyday shopping.
PAC purchases paper certificates and plastic cards from large, well known retailers
at a discount. PAC resells the certificates and cards to you at face
value and the PAC keeps the difference as a fundraiser.
The more families participate, the more money gets raised.
Deadline is the first Monday of every month. Download the order form from
the Kits school website: http://kitsilano.vsb. bc.ca Click on “Parents” on
the left hand side. Then click on Kits grocery certificates.
For questions, please contact Elene at evanderpas@telus.net
