The Antioch and Cane Ridge High Schools are seeking to help students and parents better understand the issues and dangers of teenage drug use. The schools are being proactive in educating students and families about this topic.

The first event will take place on:
Monday, December 12th, from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.

Reminder -- What Parents Can Do to
Protect and Support Their Child from Bullying
Tomorrow, October 6, 2011
11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. ET
Mean, cruel and/or bullying behavior is a problem in many schools in the United States -- in urban, suburban, and rural areas. And, it can also take place outside of school. Unfortunately, children who have learning disabilities (LD) are especially vulnerable to it.
In support of National Bullying Prevention Month this October, guest expert, Jonathan Cohen, Co-Founder and President of The National School Climate Center (NSCC), will discuss:.
• Signs that your child may be bullied (or may be bullying others)
• Steps parents can take if they suspect their child is being targeted
• How parents can work with the school to address the problem
• How to help a child cope with verbal, physical, or emotional insults
Learn more about Jonathan Cohen.

Busy, busy, busy next few weeks!
There are many opportunities to be involved at your child's school. As a working mom, I understand that it is not always possible to attend all of our parent involvement events. (I have been a stay at home mom as well, and understand that you have your own set of obstacles in attending events!) However, some of my favorite school memories are of my mom shaperoning a field trip, or my dad attending a class party. Even though they were unable to be at every event, when they did attend it made me feel like they were taking an interest in me and what I did. If you ever have questions about our Parent Involvement programs, please contact me at emily.graves@mnps.org or 941-7535 ext. 2302.

Email sent to teachers this week about All Pro Dad
This week you will see a flyer going home about All Pro Dad. Jeff Salyers is helping me with this... I am VERY grateful. This is a link to our chapter webpage. If any single mom's, uncles, etc. ask about it, they are welcome as well. You don't have to be a dad, but just to let you know the curriculum is aimed at dads. My hope is that this will be a wonderful way to reach out to parents. Many peope have heard of it during NFL commericals and press, so that might draw a few more people than we usually get. I am very excited!

Brown Bus Updates from August Q and A
Kathy Tamble, our school guidance counselor, is on charge of bus issues this year. She told me that we currently do not have a brown bus driver. There is apparently a bus driver shortage. Drivers of other routes are doubling up and helping out by picking up the children who would ride the brown bus. That is why there are such inconsitencies and problems. If you have questions you probably need to call the Transportation Dept. at Central Office.
http://www.mnps.org/Page56885.aspx
She said all children are allowed breakfast when they arrive at school, even if the bus is late. The cafeteria staff may need to put up the hot items, but cereal and other items are offered.

To keep the momentum going, I’m hosting a free 5K walk/run on Sunday, Nov. 13 at 2 p.m. starting at the Public Square Park in front of the Metro Courthouse. And I want you, your friends and family to join me. Since this is a 5K walk and run, this event is ideal for individuals of all fitness levels.
In preparation for this 3.1-mile event, we’re hosting a free, nine-week training program that kicks off this Saturday, Sept. 10 at 9 a.m. at the new McCabe Park Community Center, 101 46th Avenue North. We’ll also be celebrating the grand opening of this 25,000-square-foot facility, which includes a gymnasium, fitness center, indoor walking track, and other amenities.
Starting this Saturday, training sessions for the 5K also will be held at Shelby Bottoms Nature Center, Antioch Community Center and Hadley Park Community Center. Visit our Facebook at www.facebook.com/mayorschallenge5k to view the complete training schedule.

Karl F. Dean

School Choices for Parents
This year parents have more choices than ever before. Learn about the full range of choices available under No Child Left Behind and more.
Public School Choice
Supplemental Educational Services
Charter Schools
Magnet Schools
Private Education
Homeschooling
The No Child Left Behind Act provides new education options for many families. This federal law allows parents to choose other public schools or take advantage of free tutoring if their child attends a school that needs improvement. Also, parents can choose another public school if the school their child attends is not making benchmark levels or unsafe (MNPS has no schools identified as “unsafe”). The law also supports the growth of more independent charter schools, funds some services for children in private schools, and provides certain protections for homeschooling parents. Finally, it requires that states and local school districts provide information to help parents make informed educational choices for their child. I hope you find this information helpful.

Email Event
Approximately 70% of adults with disabilities are unemployed in the U.S. These individuals are highly dedicated, talented, and genuinely want to work. And now, many of them are thanks to the strong partnerships formed through the MNPS Exceptional Education Department's Community Based Transition Program. This program has opened the door to internship opportunities, work-based training, and even gainful employment. But the students aren't the only ones who benefit.
The Department of Exceptional Education is hosting a fair to spotlight the Transition Program. Representatives from state and local agencies and community service providers will provide families with information about post high school options in our community such as:
Advocacy
Employment
Adult Living Options
Post Secondary Education
Recreation and Leisure Activities
There will also be more than 50 vendors on hand to give information about their services and products, as well as refreshments!
Check out this video for an in-depth look at the power of community-based transition programs.

Metro Schools adds two make-up days in March
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Feb. 22, 2011) – The Board of Education has approved a recommendation that will have Metro Nashville’s public school students attending school Friday, March 11 and Monday, March 14 to make up two days missed due to snow. Both days were originally scheduled as part of spring break for students, with Friday, March 11 originally a planning day for teachers. The addition of Monday, March 14, was made at the request of Director of Schools Jesse Register based in part on survey results from district families and staff that indicated they preferred March 14 over two other options.

Subject: Parent Survey: Options for snow makeup days
Good Morning Everyone,
I wanted to be sure you were all aware of the phone survey that will be conducted by MNPS regarding the snow make up days. The information below is also available in the MNPS website (http://www.mnps.org/Page66932.aspx?BlogEntryID=79947).
Parent Survey: Options for snow makeup days
For the 2010-11 school year, we have missed ten days due to winter weather. It is imperative that we makeup instructional time before the critical TCAP testing that occurs April 13-20.
Pending teacher approval, Friday, March 11 will be a regular school day. This day was originally planned for teacher planning and will need teacher approval before it is converted into a school day.
We have three options for making up one more day before testing:
1. Attend school on Monday, March 14 - The first day of Spring Break
2. Attend school on Saturday, April 2
3. Lengthen the school day by 30 minutes for a 13 day period running March 21 - April 6
Before the decision is made, we want to hear what you think. There will be a parent survey conducted by district-wide callout on the evening of Monday, February 21. Please plan to be near your phone on this evening so that you can give your opinion on this important matter. If you know that you will not be able to take the survey, you may send an email to the Customer Service Center (MNPSCustomerService@mnps.org) or call them at 259-INFO (4636) between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
