Parents eager to understand what the changes to the kindergarten to Grade 12 curriculum will mean for their children are invited to attend an presentation later this month.
Port Coquitlam's South Side Family of Schools is holding a parent education night on Nov. 16 featuring School District 43 assistant superintendent Reno Ciolfi, who will provide insight into how elementary, middle and high school teachers are incorporating the revised curriculum in the classroom. There will also be opportunities for parents to ask questions.
The talk runs from 6:45 to 8 p.m. and is titled “B.C.’s New Curriculum: Clarifying Transitions.” It will be held at Riverside secondary school (2215 Reeve St.) and admission cost is $5 per person. Light refreshments will be provided and free child minding will be available with advance registration by Nov. 13.
To attend, email [email protected] with the following information: names of those attending and, if necessary, the number and age of children requiring child minding.
Payments will be taken at the seminar (you should arrive early as line-ups can be long). Cheques should be made payable to SFSPE or Southside Family of Schools Parent Education. Walk-in registrations will only be accepted if there is space available.
