Teacher
Requests
-
Mr. Raymond requested “Vocabulary A-Z,” a site
with leveled word lists and activities to use for
word work. It costs $39.95 USD for a
subscription. Mme. Vallis asked for a subscription
to “Reading A-Z,” a site that has downloadable
reading comprehension stories. It is $109.95 USD.
Laura motioned to pay for both and Tammy
-
seconded the motion.
The school received a $3000 grant for the mural
which covered the cost of the artists and labour.
It costs $593 to mount the mural. The school will
pay for some of that cost. Last year the John
Peters Humphrey Society donated $100. It was
agreed that Home and School would cover $300
-
toward the mural.
The school’s projector needs to be replaced. The
cost is roughly $1000-$1200. Laura motioned to go
half with the school and pay up to $1000, and I
seconded the motion. All in favour.
PSSC Report
-
About 30 parents attended “Parent Power Night”
on April 11. Students attended an hour of coding
while their parents attended an information session
on healthy online habits for children. The
importance on setting limits was stressed.
