The highlight was definitely the Q&A session with Headmaster Bush and Chairman Borger. Headmaster Bush took some time to introduce himself and the different things that are going on with the Academy. We got updates on busing, uniforms, teachers, the uniform scholarship, and more. Chairman Borger updated us on portables, and the building. It's all very exciting! He reminded us about the importance of keeping positive and being supportive of all that is going on. So much work is being done, and the best thing we can do as parents is support the process in making it happen. There is a bigger purpose for all the little details happening right now. Keeping our focus on our charter, and supporting what is in place will help our Academy be successful. (Susan's presentation also reflected these sentiments.)
As a PFA we have tried very hard to make these oppurtunities to visit with, and ask questions of our faculty and board members. Our attendance last night was lower than the previous 2 months. Although it was still fantastic, all the wonderful things that were shared with us only fell on a small portion of parent's ears. We aren't able to provide word for word recounts of what was said, and we do our best with minutes and reports, but it's important that people attend if they are really needing questions answered. If you are ever unable to attend please ask for your question to be put on the agenda so it can be "officially" addressed and included in our minutes. We are happy to help, so please keep in touch.
This meeting was also dedicated to those needing or wanting answers to uniform questions. There were very few questions asked about uniforms compared to all we talked about. That gives us the impression people are now satisfied, and feel comfortable with the policy. We are now going to focus on all the other things we have going on, and leave uniform questions to the board. Please direct any other questions to Kym Slater kslater@ncacharter.org. We also have included helpful links on our website.
We have SO much on the horizon. Summer will be slower regarding PFA (don't miss the Rummage Sale and those fun get-togethers), but as soon as August hits there will be a flurry of activitiy. September will be the big PFA kick off when we vote on our budget and a whole host of things. So, keep your eye out for more emails as we move along!
