HS eNews for week of 25 – 30 August

170

Dear Parents of HS Students,

We are off to a very exciting start to the new school year! I am very impressed and pleased with the high number of parents who attended the All School PTA meeting this morning, Friday the 22nd of August. The high number of parents speaks very well for prospects of strong attendance at PTA activities and events for 2014-15.

I was equally pleased and impressed by the computer literacy of the parents attending the HS meeting following the all-school PTA meeting. They demonstrated a high level of expertise in accessing information related to their son’s/daughter’s academic progress on Power School and Moodle.
