Questions From Twitter...

1. Were parents notified of the awards ceremony? - As far as I know, no. (I am not involved in planning the awards ceremonies however.) It is not a grand scale sort of event. It takes place in the library, with the teachers and other students. It's simply a small way for the teachers to recognize members of their class. 2. Could there possibly be more parent events at night? -The answer is yes and no. We have many events at night throughout the year... music performances, PTA events, Family Literacy Night in the Spring. There are also early morning (before school events)such as GradeSpeed Parent Training and All Pro Dad (all parents are welcome, though it is directed toward dads). It seems like there may be many parent involvement events during the school day, however, really the only ones that we host are School Improvement Team, and we had a Standards Training. I have nothing to do with PTA planning. Some events we do need to hold during the day. According to Title I, we must offer events at varying times. If there are any more questions, or you have concerns, please feel free to let me know at emily.graves@mnps.org or 941-7535ext2110. Questions such as these are also great to address at the School Improvement Team meetings. (If you cannot make it, you can always request the topic be addressed.)If there is a meeting you are unable to attend and would like to have the minutes passed to you, I am happy to do so!
