Dear Parents,

Keeping with the tradition of the past few years, we will be continuing to host our Teaching and Learning Dialogues.  These gatherings provide an opportunity for parents to meet with members of the administration and occasionally members of the faculty in a relatively open-ended dialogue, whereby the goal is a combination of informing parents about key aspects of our educational program and offering a chance for parents to pose questions as well.

In order to ensure that the Dialogues are highly relevant to the interests of parents, there are two specific measures that we have put into place.  First, the Dialogues are held for groups of parents whose children are within a particular range of their educational career.  For example, we have a specific gathering for parents of children in Nursery and Pre-Kindergarten because their interests might be different than parents whose children are in 4th and 5th grade.  As well, parents who plan on attending the Dialogues are invited to send an email to me in advance of the gathering with the issues they are most interested in discussing. From there, I will use this information to create an outline of the key points to be addressed.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me at any time and I look forward to seeing you at the Teaching and Learning Dialogues!

Sincerely,

James Duval

Elementary Principal
