We appreciate and thank the parents who were able to come to the Parent Advisory Team meeting this week. The parents reviewed the School Compact and decided not to make any changes for next year. We also discussed the differences between the federally funded Title I program and state funded 31a and 35a Early Literacy Programs. All of these programs provide academic support for students who need it at our school, even though the funding comes from different sources. We are glad to have the extra help and materials provided by these funds. Parents who attended were also able to discuss and ask questions about program design and about the new third grade reading law. They were reminded to visit the Parent Resources section of this blog to find useful web links and suggestions. Parent Educational Workshops are being planned for after winter break. Math consultants from WRESA will present one of them. A Reading Workshop is also being planned. More information will follow soon.

There will be another Parent Advisory Team Meeting in February.
