Results from the All Pro Dad End of the Year Evaluation
All Pro Dad Evaluation Summary FY13
- Average Attendance over the year was 78.
- The average number of breakfasts attended this year was 5 out of 7.
- How the Breakfast Has Made an Impact on Parenting:
discussing topics we may otherwise not; allows more time to spend with child; a way to get involved with the school; provides encouragement for the children; a time to have breakfast together other than weekends only; helps keep things in perspective; allows for bonding with step children (have had several positive comments about this lately!)
- Additional Positive Points About the Program:
group discussion and acknowledgement of why dads are proud of their children; gets the parents active in the school; seeing happy children!; allows for more student communication; sharing with other parents/ fellowship with other parents who care about their children; shows the children that their parents are involved in their lives; children interacting with parents and seeing commonalities among families; encourages early time with child; opportunity to meet positive people; “It highlights the importance of the father-son relationship and empowers my son each time we come.”; makes the dad an active father figure; the homework assignments!
- Suggested Improvements for Next Year:
bring in more educational aspect; involve the principal and outside personalities; less sweet pastries and more nutritional food (some parents have offered to donate toward this effort this year); have it open for mother and father to attend together; Saturday morning outing; coffee
Mrs. Graves’ Notes:
I am already planning on a raffle next year ($5 gift cards, AZ Kelley shirts, etc.). Pencil Partners will be invited. Was thinking about a kickball tournament???
Title I Funds Vote and Parent Involvement Surveys!!!
Parents,
Copies of the Title I Funds and Parent Involvement Surveys will be sent home tomorrow (one piece of paper, front and back). On the front of the paper is the vote for the use of Title I funds to determine how we are able to spend our money for the upcoming school year. (Planning is currently taking place to revise our School Improvement Plan (SIP) for next year.)
On the back of that vote, there is a Parent Involvement Survey to fill out as well. This also is a very important piece of our planning and documentation.
I encourage you to complete this and return it in your child’s folder. Even if your child will not attend Kelley next year, we still need you to fill out the survey! Each teacher is required to make 3 attempts to have these completed, so beware- you might see it come home several times! These surveys are vital to our planning and documentation processes through our federally funded Title I money. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me via email or at extension 2302.
Sincerely,
ESEA Planning Facilitator, A.Z. Kelley Elementary

Hello Everyone,
A meeting has been planned to discuss the location of two new schools (elementary and middle) proposed for the Antioch community. The meeting will be held this Thursday, April 11th at Priest Lake Community Baptist Church located at 2754 Anderson Road, Nashville, TN 37217.
Currently Lakeview Elementary Design Center is at 122% capacity and is projected to be at 130% capacity at the beginning of the 2013-14 school year. Likewise Edison Elementary is 112% capacity and is projected to be at 115% capacity at the beginning of the 2013-14 school year. This means more portables in less secure areas at these schools.
I hope you will plan to attend this very important meeting to hear information on site selection, traffic studies and more. Public comments will also be heard at this meeting.
Whether you are in favor of or opposed to this plan, now is the time to let your voice be heard. Please pass this information along to all in our community.
