Dear Parents,
A very productive and positive activity our School Council took on during our June 2012 Planning Session was to come up with a statement of actions that define what a school council member does at John Paul. It would help the community understand the role of the group better and help council members themselves to better understand what they will be doing this year.
At the close of this, it struck me that this would be good activity for our teachers and parents to engage in as well. Our teachers are working on this document, and at this time, I would like to invite parents to do this through a digital medium. This news article has enabled the "Comments" function, which allows a parent to add a comment for all to view. For those parents so inclined, we invite you to write in your suggestions as to answers to "What does a John Paul II Parent do?"
To get a sense for this, I would encourage parents to read the school council list on their web page. After that, I would ask parents to prayerfully consider how the parents role at John Paul is unique. Of course, we would ask that parents keep their comments in positive form and without names or specific references to persons in the community.
I will work to combine and edit for length. I would ask that all contributors submit their comments with an expectation of editing!
Nolite Timere,
