Administrator Background Information

To strengthen our home school partnership in the area of math we have planned a family math night for xxxxx from 7-8:30 P.M. This action packed night will be held at South starting with a whole group keynote and then smaller group break-out sessions in other areas of the buildings.

Parents will bring their children and after the keynote families will head to a k-2, 3-5 or 6-8 session. In the smaller sessions teachers will guide parents and students through various activities and then there will be about 20-25 minutes to practice the new strategies. We plan on sending home flyers and requesting reservations for the evening. 

Each family will leave with a take home kit filed with resources and activities to follow-up with at home. In this kit there will be manipulatives, print materials, software demos and information about a companion website.

We do need teachers to help teach and facilitate that evening. There will be a call for volunteers and we hope to select two classroom teachers as well as a special education teacher from each building. Based on our numbers, we may also need others. The selected teachers will be paid for their preparation and required to attend a planning meeting with Meg on Tuesday xxxxx from 3:30-4:30. We will serve as a guide and support as teachers plan activities for the evening.
