As we focus on our vision of all that we would like our
school to be, I would like to extend the invitation for parental involvement in
exploring current practices and participate 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, I will be creating regular Parent Forum on Teaching and Learning events. Our first discussion will be held on Thursday, October 1st at 6:30
p.m.
Our agenda will be
“Fun Friday”. Please join me in
discussing what worked well last year and how we might be able to improve
moving forward.
