Subcommittee Reports

¯ Curriculum: Need Report
¯ Safety and Climate: Work that began on the roof in July suffered extended delay
due to inclement weather. At present work continues after 1:00 pm due to health
concerns to the staff and students breathing in fumes from the work being done. This
will create a further delay. Hopefully we will see completion during the winter of this
year.

¯ Parent Involvement: The NTU is offering to send free books to any parents who
want them for their children. The maximum that can be sent by mail is two (2), but if
you visit the NTU in person you may be given up to 20+ books. To date the response for the
free books has been excellent. EPIC workshops have been extended to Dec. 3, 2009
due to schools closing on Nov. 5, 2009. EPIC workshops will be held in the Parent
Academy from 9am -11am. Ms. Rudd has agreed to give a workshop on “Bullying”
date to be announced. Mrs. Harper is continuing to recruit staff in an effort to get
more workshops for our parents.
