First NVPAC General Meeting of the 2015-2016 school year. </span><br />
<br />
WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 28, 2015 7 pm at the Education Services Centre (2121 Lonsdale)<br />
<i>LIMITED parking is available in the underground garage, entrance of 21st St. </i><br />
<i>Nearby transit stops are serviced by the 229, 230, 232, 241, 242, and N24 buses.</i><br />
<br />
ALL PARENTS are welcome, not just DPAC reps.<br />
<br />
DETAILED AGENDA and bios of our presenters are <a href="http://www.northvanpac.org/p/meetings-201213.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> on our <a href="http://www.northvanpac.org/p/meetings-201213.html" target="_blank">MEETINGS PAGE</a><br />
<br />
We will be finalizing our budget for the upcoming school year, and will receive updates on BCCPAC memberships.<br />
<br />
We are honored to present our GUEST SPEAKERS, Petra Willemse, Bryan Hughes and some of their students (Anatolia Floe, Nash Jacoe, Spencer McCoach, Tylo Roberts, and Teva Zanker) from the <a href="http://www.blog44.ca/plp/" target="_blank">Performance Learning Program</a> who will be presenting<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">"Leveraging Technology to Reach all Learners."</span><br />
<br />
Presented by both a public school classroom teacher and a teacher librarian, presenters will share their pedagogy and methodology for using technology to meet the demands of the ever-shifting landscape that is education today. <br />
<br />
By looking at examples of student projects, see how technology is being used in an inquiry and project-based learning environment to challenge all learners and create limitless learning opportunities. <br />
<br />
Parents will leave with an understanding of how technology can be used in a meaningful way by educators to engage and empower students to take their learning to new heights.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The 2014/15 school year was, as is usual for NVPAC, full of activity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">General Membership meetings were held in October, November, January,
February, April and May.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Speakers at our
General meetings covered a wide range of topics, including the School District’s
Assessment Handbook, friendship groups, the Cheakamus Centre, safe and active
travel to school, self-regulation, ePact, the online emergency network, and the
BCCPAC Spring Conference and AGM.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">NVPAC hosted two special events:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>the School Trustee all-candidates meeting at Sutherland in November, and
a parent education event, “The Problem with Discipline” featuring Christopher
Burt, at Argyle in March.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both events
were well-attended.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>NVPAC assisted
Vancouver Coastal Health in presenting the popular “Foods that Fit” workshop at
the Education Services Centre in April.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">NVPAC offers several types of grants to support PACs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Speaker grants assist PACs in engaging
high-quality speakers for parent education. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Safety grants assist PACs in acquiring needed
safety equipment such as supplies for emergency kits or crossing guard
programs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>FoodSafe grants are offered to
help support the training of parent volunteers who assist with hot lunch
programs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Family of Schools grant
supports communication and collaboration amongst the PACs within a Family of
Schools.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition, NVPAC offers
grants to support PACs who send representatives to education-related
conferences, such as the BCCPAC Spring Conference and AGM.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">NVPAC conducted its Annual Parent Perspective survey in June; we are
grateful to the School District for distributing the link to the survey to
North Van parents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In my role as NVPAC Chair, I attended all but one of the meetings of
the Board of Education, all but one of the Standing Committee meetings, and all
meetings of the Presidents Council, as well as the one meeting of the Capital
Planning Committee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition, I served
on the Emergency Preparedness Committee, the Communications Committee, the
Class Acts Committee, and the Policy 412 sub-committee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I assisted with the organizing of the Foods
that Fit workshop, and helped out at the event itself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I chaired the NVPAC General Meetings and
Executive meetings, and acted as MC for our two special events.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am NVPAC’s representative on the Children
and Youth Safe and Active Travel Working Group, an initiative of the City of
North Vancouver.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">On behalf of NVPAC, I extend sincere thanks to the Board of Education
of the North Vancouver School District for their continued and generous
financial support of our activities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
addition, I offer thanks to the School District for providing meeting rooms at
the ESC for our General membership and Executive meetings, and for providing the
Sutherland Theatre and the Argyle small gym for our special events in November
and April.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

In today’s schools, children are exposed to a much more complicated world than we were and anxiety in youth is increasing. As parents we are at the forefront of setting boundaries for our children, witnessing their break-downs, teaching them to deal with uncertainty, competition and change. We are blessed to be the ones they turn to share their daily highs and lows and we get to watch them grow into amazing, responsible, intelligent, assertive and engaging adults.</span></span></div>

Barry is best known for his work with boys, his book Boy Smarts and even though his website is mentoringboys.com, Barry’s extensive knowledge applies to all children and is valuable for all families. You can get access to much of Barry’s strategies on his website. </span><a href="http://www.mentoringboys.com/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">http://www.mentoringboys.com/</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.

He reviewed strategies for recognizing stress response patterns and provided simple tools to help parents work with their children to discharge stress.</span></span></div>

Having insights into your child’s temperament and how it is similar or different to your own can be a huge tool for parents – and for educators as well.</span></span></div>

What is being assertive?... Standing up for yourself at the right time, with the right person, for the right reason. At times being assertive can be confused with being aggressive, so Raj reviewed the pros and cons of passive, aggressive and assertive behaviour and how the brain actually works in a challenging situation. We also discussed how effective communication is critical in dealing with our children, or anyone, in a stressful situation.</span></span></div>

The funds usually spent by BCCPAC on the single central fall conference would instead be used to support PACs and DPACs to present these smaller regional conferences. A suggestion to hold video conferences or to broadcast a keynote speaker province-wide was made. There will still be a single Spring Conference/AGM even if regional branches are formed.</span></span></div>

The main focus of the discussion involved a description of all of the committee work, on both external as well as internal committees, undertaken by the executive of the BCCPAC, as well as a discussion of the volunteer opportunities available to the parent community. </span></span></div>

There are seven Standing Committees: Curriculum; Employee Services; Formal Role of Parents; Provincial and Federal Policy; Inclusive Education; Student Safety; and Support Services and Funding. In these standing committees, parent volunteers work along with members of the executive to put forward resolutions at the AGM and follow through on resolutions which have been passed with the Ministry of Education and the other partner groups.</span></span></div>

Rather than the Ministry of Education providing funding for students on a per pupil basis, the Classroom Resource Framework suggests looking at the support and resource needs of each individual classroom based on its composition. Resources for classrooms include teachers, education assistants, classroom equipment and fixtures, education supplies, as well as student and staff support services. Resources must be determined by analyzing both the individual needs of each student and staff as well as the overall needs of the class as a group. The model proposes that the funding and resources necessary for each classroom be determined through collaboration between teachers, administrators and parents at each school.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 1.2; white-space: pre-wrap;">Once again I ventured off to the BCCPAC Conference. This year it was held at Metrotown in Burnaby. It was a great location whether to drive or take transit. Once again the speakers and workshops were informative and entertaining. I met some new people and reacquainted with others. Thank you to NVPAC for financially supporting me to attend the conference and AGM.</span></div>

from Carisbrooke asked if schools are experiencing cuts to special aid hours on
a per student basis. How are the schools being impacted, what is the amount
that is provided by the ministry. Would the PAC talk to the ministry and ask
them to come talk to PACs about it. Jane - NVPAC could prepare a letter. It is
more effective if parents send it. More effective if parents call. Invite
ministry to explain the funding changes.</span><br />

on this NVPAC has identified expectation setting and parent-school
communication guidelines as two areas that need to explored further to find
ways to improve this situation for schools and parents across the district.
The next steps should be to gather more parent and partner group input to help us identify and clarify
different types of issues and different expectations and to identify the parent
resources needed to help parents communicate with the schools better. </div>

<h4>
Informal Reporting</h4>
What we see from the results is that 20% of parents feel poorly informed about what is going on in the classroom, with homework and expectations etc. The comments strongly reflect a desire for better communication from teachers on classroom activity and performance, many requests for blogs etc but with some specific requests against electronic communication. Parents want to know this so they can help their child, particularly if they are struggling in silence. <br /><br />
<h4>
Parent-Teacher-School issue communication</h4>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
The results of our 2014 annual parent survey tell us that 69% of parents need to contact the school to address different issues over the course of the school year. Most parents have good interactions but the survey also tells us that 13% of parents find the timeliness of the schools response poor and 19% find the appropriateness of the schools responses poor. <br /><br />The comments we receive back this up. We see many comments thanking the schools for addressing their issues but we also see a fair number of comments describing the schools as unresponsive to parent needs and insufficient in
their responses. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
75%
of parents are comfortable approaching the school with issues but the survey
also tells us that 11% of parents are uncomfortable approaching the schools
about their particular schools concerns. At the same time 34% feel they
get at best partial guidance from the schools on where to start and how to
address their concerns. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
When it comes to school issues, the resources, processes and guidance
vary widely from school to school and there may little guidance available to
help parents at the start of the process, when the issues are small and in need
of communication rather than formal process. Getting off on the wrong path can
impede issue resolution and clarifying these processes could potentially
improve the success of many interactions.</div>

recognize their state and that of others so they can self-regulate and gives
them strategies/tools/practices (sensory, calming, thinking) to move from
different zones to help alert and/or calm themselves. Building a personal
toolbox for each student in a class rather than just for one student.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The strategies are always different for each

North
Vancouver PAC (NVPAC) is seeking to develop a working group on Parent-School
Communication.<br />
<br />
NVPAC has identified parent-school communication as a common issue facing North Vancouver parents but NVPAC needs more parent input to help us identify and clarify
different types of issues and different expectations and to identify the parent
resources needed to help parents communicate with the schools better. </div>

<br />We will kick off this initiative with an interactive brainstorming session and need SCHOOL PARENT input. Everyone is welcome and ALL input is appreciated. This does not require any long-term commitment, just an hour or so on Wednesday April 22 and a willingness to have a conversation with other parents to help develop a focus for a working group on communication. <br /><br />We are looking for suggestions from all parents who have experience with communication in the school environment, both positive and/or negative experiences, to help us understand the needs. <br /><br />We aren't looking at solutions at this point but need to establish a starting point for further efforts.</div>

<b>Background</b>:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
The
results of our 2014 annual parent survey told us that 69% of parents need to
contact the school to address different issues over the course of the school
year. Most parents have good interactions but the survey tells us that 13% of
parents find the timeliness of the schools response poor and 19% find the
appropriateness of the schools responses poor. Now we need to delve into the details of why this might be.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
The
comments we received back up the survey numbers. We see many comments thanking the schools for
addressing their issues but we also see comments describing
the schools as unresponsive to parent needs and insufficient in
their responses. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
75%
of parents are comfortable approaching the school with issues but the survey
also said that 11% of parents are uncomfortable approaching the schools
about their particular schools concerns. At the same time 34% feel they
get, at best, partial guidance from the schools on who to talk to and the process they should use to
address their concerns. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
Communication processes can vary from school to school and starting off on the wrong path can
impede issue resolution so there is potential to clarify these processes and thereby improve the success of many interactions.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<b>Working
Group:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
After the kick-off discussion, NVPAC would like to form a working group of parents to help
us work with the schools and school district on this issue. The issue will
require a long-term effort and a number of discussions and meetings with
different stakeholders to come to a good understanding of the issues and a
workable set of responses. The working group will help provide the breadth of
parent experience needed to help improve this important area of parent-school
interaction.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<b>Kick
off Meeting:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
April

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
We
are asking parents with all types of
experiences addressing student issues to work with us on this issue and to join
us for a kick-off discussion on “improving parent-school communication” at our April 22<sup>nd</sup>
meeting. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
At
this meeting we will discuss different communication expectations, how
different schools communicate with parents, steps that we can take with our
partner groups to improve the communication and the types of tools and
resources needed to help parent-student-school communication. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
