It was great to see parents and teachers at our monthly PAC meeting last night. We appreciate the efforts that parents make to support the learning and teaching that happens at Cleveland.

Some highlights from last night’s meeting include:

Sharing by Mme Bulsara and Mme Kwiatkowski about how they are making use of technology in their classroom to enhance learning and engage students. Teachers shared by projecting their work onto the screen in the library using AppleTV. Hint: your support for the CPAC Olympic Soiree will allow more teachers to use technology to support and enhance learning and teaching.

Classroom web sites and blogs were also shared by Mme Bulsara and Mme Kwiatkowski, and we also looked at the class web site for Mrs. Gill & Mrs. McGuire’s grade 6 class.

North Shore Inline Hockey League presented information about their program to parents.

We had an excellent discussion on the Foundation Skills Assessments that will be starting soon for students in grades 4 and 7.  We discussed the letters parents received from the school board and from the BCTF. Assessment shedules have been sent home to all  students in grades 4 and 7. If you have not seen these, please check with your child.

Major Fund Raiser – All parents should have received a brochure in their email inbox yesterday, outlining the targets for the upcoming fundraiser event at The View on February 15th. Please see the CPAC web site for more information.

PAC updates – there are a lot of initiatives that a number of volunteers are working on. Please take the time to thank all those parents who are spending an incredible amount of time and energy to support the children in our schools. We truly are blessed at Cleveland to have so many parents helping in so many ways.

The next PAC meeting is on February 25th, and we would love to see you here.
