Joe – Good morning, welcome back to April’s general meeting. My name is Joe and I have a 5th and 3rd grader here. Do we need any translation today? No show of hands.
Principal remarks:
Mr. Fong – Good morning, I’m grateful to our families, yesterday we had our NDI finale for our 1st graders. They did a great job, and we want to thank everyone for their support for the Arts.
There is a multi-language workshop on the intrepid for immigrant families on Wednesday 4/17/24 which is the same day as our bake sale.
At our SLT meeting I mentioned that 50% of our 100 5th graders got into their first choice. Ms. Levanoni, with her experience gave our 5th grade families a jump start by having a townhall meeting to inform families to go on and add their students to the waitlist of the schools they did not get into because its time stamped. The notice for Chinese translations goes out the following week which is a disadvantage to our Asian families due to the time stamp. Very grateful for Ms. Levanoni to giving our families a even start.
Next week, there is no school on Wednesday 4/10/24 for Edi. Next week our 3rd and 4th graders will take their ELA state exams on 4/11/24 and 4/12/24. Our 5th graders will take them on 4/15/24 and 4/16/24 on the computers for the first time. Some schools will be taking it earlier but luckily, we were able to elect to take them separately.
May 4th is our Health Fair, thank you to the PA for all their support. Next year we will continue to have 2 G&T kindergarten classes. Families have started to register already.
Next Tuesday Channel 25 and the mayor will be coming to our school to shoot footage of our students and school as a backdrop for their videos.
Thank you and let us know if you need anything. Parents’ Association opening & Review.
