1st NVPAC General Meeting - October 21st

Our first general meeting for the 2010/2011 school year will be held Thursday evening, October 21st from 7:00pm to 8:30pm in the main conference room at the LMCC building (Leo Marshall Curriculum Centre, 810-21st Street West, North Vancouver).

Our meeting agenda is below, and all DPAC Reps are highly encouraged to attend. The format for this Thursday evening is 'meet and greet', highlighted by a thirty minute open forum discussion centred around two themes; (1) advocacy and communication, and (2) effective support for parents and PACs across the District. Light refreshments will be served.

We're also pleased to have Superintendent John Lewis provide us with a personal perspective (and retrospective!) on the status of the school district - a bit of where we have been over the years, our current circumstance, and where we are now headed. This will be followed with a 15 minute presentation from Trustee Sheila Bouman, who will provide us with some insight into the Board's current undertaking to develop a long term strategic plan. We're also pleased to have Victoria Miles provide us with some insight into effective methods for positive parental advocacy, not just in her role as NVSD Communications Manager, but as a parent herself.

Your NVPAC executive will be debriefing immediately after the meeting adjourns, from 8:30-9:00, and we welcome anyone to join us in the discussion, or simply stay and enjoy refreshments and ask questions. We're looking forward to seeing everyone this Thursday!
