  • School Planning Meeting: John asked administration if parents could be a part of yearly planning meeting. We're looking for a way for parents to more effectively plug in to the school. We request for administration to communicate to ACSL the school's direction and then we could see how parents can help administration meet their directional objective, with student's assistance. Pat will brainstorm with learning teams to see what possible opportunities there are and communicate with us in September, 2011.
