Our next APPTT is just around the corner! Please be sure to pick up your child’s purple packet from school this week on Thursday, Jan. 14 or Friday, Jan. 15. You may come any time between 8:30 AM and 4 PM. Some teachers are using this opportunity to send home other supplies or materials, too. Just come to our school’s front door, ring the buzzer and give your child’s name and someone will be there to help. More info below!
We would like to invite you to join us for our second round of Academic Parent Teacher Team (APTT) meetings for preschool through 5th grade. APTT is a way for parents and teachers to work together, as genuine partners, to maximize student learning inside and outside of school. APTT is a research-based model for teachers to share grade-level information, tools, and strategies with families to apply at home and in the community to accelerate student learning. Your child is encouraged to attend along with you! After each meeting, your family will walk away with two games, all materials included, to play at home!
WHEN?
January 21st at 6:00 PM
WHERE?
Your child’s classroom teacher will send you a meeting link to join
WHY?
During our meeting you will have the opportunity to:
Meet and build classroom community with other families
Learn about and practice, academic games for your child
Review your child’s academic progress
Set academic goals for your child
APTT was developed by Maria Paredes in 2009 in response to families’ expressing a need to know how to support their children’s learning. After two years of practice with 247 families and students in nine classrooms in Phoenix, AZ, along with data collection, analysis, and evaluation, the model was formalized and scaled up when Paredes joined WestEd in 2011. For developing APTT, Paredes was awarded the Dissertation in Practice Award of 2012 from The Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate.
Our teachers have been working hard to prepare for this event and are eager to have you join them. It takes a whole team of people to prep all the materials to create learning games for the entire school and I would like to recognize Donna Duarte (APTT Champion) and Trinia Washington (Family Literacy Connector) and a really big thank you to our office team, Ms. Dickey and Cherese Washington for all of their help!
There is no team without you!
