Join us

Wednesday March 16th at 6 PM

Room 518
for a very special PTA meeting featuring Pete, teachers, & you!

Refreshments available.


Our high school students don't take (most) Regents exams.

How does ICE calculate evidence of student learning? 

This will not be a lecture or a Powerpoint, but a hands-on interactive session and discussion where we parents and guardians will do some of the work ourselves, under the guidance of Pete and the teachers present.  We will be looking at how this assessment evolves on the continuum between middle school and college.  


Parents from all grades welcome.

New families are especially encouraged to attend.
