SCHOOL COUNCIL UPDATE

The Algonquin School Council, comprising elected parent and student representatives, as well as members appointed by the principal, serves as an advisory body under Massachusetts law, charged with supporting school improvement planning and providing guidance on key initiatives. Over the course of the year, the group will monitor our school's progress on the actions outlined in the School Improvement Plan. 

At our most recent meeting on October 20, Asst. Principal Gitkind joined the Council to provide a summary of interventions we offer in Math, including Title I tutoring and Math Lab. We also discussed plans to govern cell phones (i.e. how to reinforce current classroom norms for using classroom storage options, like shoe caddies), and the actions outlined in the School Improvement Plan.

The meeting slides are available here. Our next School Council meeting is scheduled for November 17.
