Just a reminder to parents that the School Community Council's next meeting is January 11, 2012, at the high school. The meeting starts at 7:00. Parents are needed in order to provide input into the policies of our school and to help facilitate communication within the larger community. With the support of our school community council, we have made significant improvements to math over the last few years and now we are looking towards improving literacy rates as well. Parental support by attending our school community council is needed.
