Пытаюсь понять, о чем речь. Не совсем понимаю, что за вопросы поднимались, и что значат ответы на них.
Hello Tanglen Parents--
In late March, a small group of parents asked to set up a meeting with me, Tanglen, and District leadership to discuss their concerns at Tanglen Elementary. I worked with this group of parents to set up a time and location to meet. The day before the meeting, I was informed that a significant number of parents were also going to attend the meeting. At the last minute, I worked with the Tanglen PTO to invite additional parents from the broader Tanglen community to the meeting. As a result, on Tuesday, April 5, 2011, approximately 100 parents gathered to discuss the strengths of, and concerns surrounding, Tanglen Elementary.
This group of spirited parents thought it was crucial that the information shared at this meeting be delivered to all members of the Tanglen community, and I want to honor their request. Enclosed (at the top of this message) you will find a list of the responses to questions which are summarized in the headings of the list. This meeting productively identified issues at Tanglen and will have a positive impact on the learning climate at Tanglen.
District administrators have met with Tanglen leadership, and systems are being examined at Tanglen by school and District administration. There have been meetings with students, staff, and parents immediately following Tuesday’s meeting to begin addressing issues related to building culture. As a result of this meeting, Tanglen will begin regular communication to share the short-term changes that will be made during this school year. For example, a realignment of paraprofessional support is underway, so that the building is better able to respond to student concerns on the playground and during lunch — both times we have identified when more behavioral concerns are occurring. Additionally, Tanglen will also share long-term changes required to maintain its vibrant and engaging learning environment.
It is comforting to know that a caring group of parents came forward to proactively address issues at their child’s schools. This meeting exemplifies all the parents of the Hopkins Public Schools. It demonstrates the ever important partnership in educating children: supportive parents!
I want to thank all of you who participated in the meeting, and I assure you that we will address the issues identified to make Tanglen an even better school for kids!!
Sincerely,
John W. Schultz, Ph. D.
Superintendent of Schools
Hopkins Public Schools
