LEAP forward

Lady Evelyn Alternative Priority Working Group
To revive ongoing dialogue and working relationship between teachers and parents in the broader school context and to engage students in the process of planning and direction for the long term for Lady Evelyn Alternative School the school council has decided to set up the Alternative Priorities Working Group starting with the school year 2007/2008.

The rough outline of this body is:
· it will consist of students, teachers and parents
· it will meet on a regular basis
· it will explore alternative education models and practice
· it will support, advance and implement innovative alternative education models at Lady Evelyn School

To refine the working group's mission and vision, as well as defining its composition and processes, we need volunteers to join the "LEAP" (that would be Lady Evelyn Alternative Priorities) ad-hoc committee, who are able to work over the summer months to put a framework in place for the coming school year. We need parents and teachers (ideally representing all kids' age groups). The committee is committed to seeking full school community input, as well as "mining" similar models at alternative schools across the province for their best practices.

All those who can commit to working on the ad-hoc committee, please respond to educationchair@ladyevelyn.ca by Tuesday, June 5th.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask council and education committee members at the family breakfast on Friday - hope to see you all there!
