The first GATE parent meeting of 2017-18 will be held next week. These meetings are intended to promote open communication between district administrators, school staff, and parents. Each year our GATE parent meetings host a parent book club open to all interested community members. GATE Site Representatives are encouraged to attend each meeting. Book Club discussions will be held during the first hour of the meeting and the last 30 minutes will be reserved for general parent site representative business and discussion. Our Book Club 2017 Selection is Grit by Angela Duckworth.

ReplyDeleteHello. These meeting are intended for in person discussion around the annual book and parent inquiries. Because they are not "informational" sessions, we do not post summaries.
