Woodlands School Council

Hello everyone,

The first Woodlands School Council meeting will take place on Monday, September 21st at 7:30pm at the school. This meeting is open to all parents of students registered at the Woodlands.

It will be followed immediately by Ms. Perugini's presentation on Homework and Study Skills. This is the second year that Ms. Perugini is giving this presentation. Last year's attendees found it useful and entertaining, and we encourage students and parents to attend, particularly those starting grade 7 or 9.

The agenda is as follows:

7:30 - 8:00 (approximately) School Council Meeting

• Nomination/confirmation of the School Council Executive
• Discussion of Council Goals for the 2009-2010 school year
• PRO (Parents Reaching Out) grant submission
• Update on the funding inequity letter sent in June.

8:00 (approximately) - 9:30 Homework and Study Skills Seminar

Our guest speaker, Ms. Perugini (Alternative Programs / Acting Vice-Principal) will present techniques to help students get maximum benefit from their homework and study sessions.

Both students and parents are welcome at this seminar.

Appeal for Council Executive volunteers

Our current Council Executive represents children in grade 11 and 12 only. We need more involvement from parents in the younger grades so that these students are effectively represented on the school council, and to ensure continuity as the older students graduate (taking their parents with them!)

Any and all parents wishing to participate in the School Council are always welcome. If you have a son or daughter in grades 7 through 10 and would like to get involved with the Council, we have an extra-special welcome for you! Time commitments are minimal and it is a great opportunity to meet the administration and teachers and stay involved with your child's education.
