On behalf of the Board of Trustees, faculty and staff, welcome to the 2011-12 school year! We are opening the school year with 184 students and twenty new families who come to Presentation from Sonoma, San Francisco, Fairfield and Switzerland. Please join us in welcoming all to our community. To our returning families, we thank you for your trust in our school and look forward to continuing our work together.

 

As presented at our reception on Monday, our entire community is called to action as we strive to live our mission by providing an educational program that supports each child to reach his or her potential academically, spiritually, physically, and socially. The Board of Trustees has set as its priorities this year goals that will support increasing enrollment, marketing and communication strategies that attract families to our community, a focus on development activities, and increased Board visibility.

 

The Faculty and Staff are called to action as they work together in Professional Learning Communities to enhance and differentiate the educational program to meet the needs of all learners. Working together, teachers will coordinate curriculum integration in each grade, within each department and across all grade levels. Service to others continues to provide opportunities for our students and families to connect to a world outside our campus.

 

We invite you, our families, to bring your special talents and passions to our school. Join us in living our mission through your continued volunteer support of school and development programs, participation in the Parent Association events, coaching, working in the garden and the many, many things you do for our students. Working together, The Presentation School will continue to be a growing, visionary, collaborate Community. Here's to the best year ever!

 

May God bless us in our endeavors together,

Nancy

6:30-8:30 pm

 at The Presentation School 

Open to all - no admission fee

Dr Zur is a consultant, licensed psychologist, writer, teacher, and lecturer from Sonoma.  His recent focus has been on the psychology of the web and how modern digital technologies are affecting our families, relationships, schools, workplace and society at large.

This presentation is geared to parents, teachers and concerned members of our community.  It will discuss the generational gap between what has been dubbed as "Digital Natives" (the young ones) and "Digital Immigrants" (older adults and parents).  It will help parents learn about the digital world of their children, their attraction to Facebook, Twitter and texting, and will propose ideas in regard to the "do's" and "don'ts" of effective parenting of the digitally savvy child.  The guidelines to parents are aimed to reduce conflict and tension and increase harmony and collaboration in the home around digital issues.
