Parent Forum on Teaching & Learning - October 1st



From Principal Vaughn:

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.
