Moody middle, a school of the arts, is holding a meeting for parents Jan. 25.

A parent information night is being held next Wednesday for parents interested in enrolling their children in Moody middle, a school of the arts.

Principal Trevor Kolkea said the meeting, from 7 to 8 p.m. on Jan. 25, is primarily for families living outside of the school's catchment interested in a program that emphasizes the arts but all parents of future Moody middle students are welcome.

The school currently has 286 students and a new school is being built with the capacity of 450 students; it is expected to open for the 2017/’18 school year.

Kolkea said parents who come to the meeting will learn how the arts are incorporated in core subjects and will see examples of student projects, such as math projects brought to life in shop class; the spring musical that involves most of the school; and how the arts is woven into assemblies.

The school has themes for the year, starts the day with music, encourages explorations teachers to collaborate with teachers of academic subjects, and showcases student work, including art installations done by each student group.
Moody middle, which is also a French immersion school, is located at 3115 St. Johns St., Port Moody.
