Petra Willemse from Seycove's Performance Learning Program is presenting on TECHNOLOGY. An exciting presentation with teachers and students on Leveraging Technology to Reach All Learners.
The NEW CURRICULUM continues to be a major topic of discussion and we are looking at ways to provide information and answer some of the questions parents may have. Stay tuned and as we get more information or find links that offer reliable and useful information for parents, we will post them here.
We are also looking at updating our website and are hopeful that we will be able to launch it by the end of October. Until then, we are compiling resources to help make it great. Our new Communications Representative Carol Sartor is working away at an even more user-friendly version.
