Announcements-
- We are holding four evening meetings and six morning meetings this year. October, December, February and April meetings will be held at 7pm at Gibbs.
- As our enrollment is growing, our preschool is also growing. There is now a half day preschool class over at Peirce.
- Over the summer Sarah went to the meeting at Peirce of the new parent-run diversity task force. There was one person there who was pushing inclusion of students with disabilities in gen ed. Sarah was wondering if we should send a representative from SEPAC to these meetings.
- There is a town-wide PTO meeting once or twice a year, and maybe we should see if we can send a representative to these meetings.
