ICE PTA Meeting

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR A VERY SPECIAL PTA MEETING
ICE PAC is hosting the Feb 12 PTA Meeting (6 PM, RM 518). If you attended the January PTA meeting, you heard Pete mention that ICE is part of a network of schools known as the "Consortium." We are pleased to announce that Ann Cook, one of the founders of the New York Performance Standards Consortium, will be our special guest at this meeting. Ann is whip smart, a font of knowledge, and very engaging; you'll definitely want to hear her speak and ask her questions. In addition, we will have a couple of ICE teachers on hand and maybe even a student or two to talk about how teaching and learning in a Consortium school helps to cultivate the individual's interest and passion and is a natural way to institute "culturally responsive education." All parents welcome, but middle school parents especially encouraged to attend.
