Parent Roundtable Meeting Minutes
May 19, 2009
Thanks so much to those who attended the last meeting of the year. I know how crazy it can get as we roll into these last few weeks of school. I can hardly believe it’s almost June! Last night we spent some time going over what we’ve accomplished this year, talked about the proposed changes to the student handbook (mainly around co-curricular activities and the use of ipods), and looked at where we are a going next year.
On the communication front, Lisa Pecket, who you might know from our front office, is going to be taking over the website. She will be working with the design put together by Cheryl Bertolini’s husband, Jim McLaughlin, who kindly responded to our request for help this winter. Linda Johnson is going to do some research for us on Community Service (schools that require it, the logistics- legal and otherwise- of instituting it, and businesses that might be interested in hosting kids).
We are also moving into our NEASC Reaccredidation cycle, with our visit from the committee coming in 2011. This is a very exciting time for Profile as it gives us an opportunity to reflect on all aspects of our program. While 2011 might seem like a long time from now, work is already underway, and we are going to need parents and community members to sit on the committees. Please see the website below for a list of standards/committees:

We hope to start up Parent Roundtables again in September, but we’re also looking for new ways to encourage communication, even if people can’t attend the meeting. The new website should be more attractive and user friendly, so perhaps that will help. If people have any suggestions or thoughts, please let us know.
