Maple Technology

We would like to invite anyone that

would like to have input into the

technology integration at Maple Ele-

mentary School to attend a meeting

on Wednesday, February 23 at 6:30

pm in the Maple library. Discus-

sions will include future technology

planning, instructional ideas and im-

plementing 21st century skills at

home and school. Please join us.

Parent Power There are many ways you can support

your child’s learning and school.

Here are a few ideas:

• Spend a few minutes every eve-

ning looking over handouts your

youngster brings home. Fill out

forms to return the next day.

• Tell your child’s teachers if you

can help them out at school or

home.

• Make sure teachers know you

appreciate their efforts. From

time to time, send a thank-you

note or an e-mail.

• Contact your youngster’s teacher

immediately if you see a problem.

Working together will help your

child succeed.

• Attend conferences, parent meet-

ings, and school events regularly.
