This program
will use high interest literature to tackle personal issues for at-risk
students. It will connect the issues
developed in each book directly to the lives of our students and then draw
further connections to the curriculum in English and Social Studies. |

| Enhancing
Parent / Teacher Conferences with Parent Information Sessions |
The
goal of this project is to increase attendance at Parent/Teacher conferences
and provide parents with relevant information. The project adds the structure of parent
information sessions to the existing format of conferences. Parents would attend conferences and have
the opportunity to attend one or more parent information sessions. These sessions would last `15-20 minutes
each and would be offered multiple times through the evening. Topics would be varied to meet the needs of
parents and be presented by various members of the community. |
