Mary Pat Melvin is joining us this year as a social worker for the LIU
and works at KM, Kennedy, and the Elementary Center for 20 hours a week. She
will be seeing students on an individual basis. You can contact her by
calling the Elementary Center or KM Smith.
Next Child Study Team meetings scheduled for:
Elem Ctr/Kennedy- Friday, Oct 23, 2009
Terra Novas are scheduled in grades 1 and 2 for March 15-26, 2010.
PSSA's are scheduled in grades 3, 4, and 5 from April 7- May 7, 2010.
Please plan accordingly so your child will not be absent on those days!!!
Here are 7 ways you can become involved in your child’s education that will
benefit both of you:
• Attend Parent-Teacher conferences with specific questions you want
to ask.
• Meet your child’s friends and get to know their parents.
• Develop a consistent daily routine, including time for studying and
homework. Every student should have some chores or responsibilities around
the house.
• Let the school staffs know of your availability to volunteer in the
classroom or school.
• Voice your concerns on any issues that will affect your family.
• Vote in local, state, and federal elections for public officials who
support education. Communicate with them regularly so you are represented
well.
• Join the GNA Elementary PTA and lend your support to the school to
benefit your student.
