Together We are Better

 

 

Blog # 1 October 2017 

On September 21 at our annual Meet My School BBQ we displayed our matrixes outside on a rolling board. We create visuals via Haiku Deck and displayed our school story focus and question. We invited parent feedback via stickee notes. We invited parent feedback after we did our staff introductions. We receive very little feedback. At our first PAC meeting our school story was introduced and the same display was shared. PAC parents requested that the matrix be put on our website for feedback. We have cut and pasted the table below. The formatting did not paste but the words did. Parents we ask for feedback please. Please email feedback and comments to Mrs. Wallace at kwallace@sd38.bc.ca
