Parent Forum on Teaching & Learning - January 21st

As we focus on our vision of all that we would like our school to be, Mrs. Vaughn would like to extend the invitation for parental involvement in exploring current practices and participating in meaningful, two way communication and problem solving.

Vision Statement
Frenchtown School will be known as a school where:
  • Students develop independence and cooperation through active participation in inquiry-based, hands-on activities.  Students are confident, successful learners who engage in diverse learning experiences.      
  • The faculty uses varied, research based instructional strategies.  Through collaboration and shared responsibility, faculty and staff ensure that instruction is focused on the needs of each child and that equitable opportunities exist for all academic and enrichment programs.   
  • Administration facilitates a collaborative, supportive environment that prioritizes learning through trust, mutual respect and open communication.  Administration provides for professional development and resources necessary for teaching and learning.
  • Families and the community are partners who support and expand learning within and beyond the classroom.
To that end, Mrs. Vaughn will be holding regular Parent Forum on Teaching and Learning events.

Please join her for a brief presentation on Wednesday, January 21st at 6:00 p.m. to review pilot programs at Frenchtown. The discussion will include information on Foundations, Reading Wonders and Library Enrichment.

We hope to see you there!
