Parents of Incoming Freshman
Dear Incoming Freshman Parents:
You and your student stand at the threshold of a new, exciting period of change. This letter is written to offer you a chance to pave the road your maturing child will walk for the next four years. Given the chance, would you want your voice to be heard when important decisions need to be made? Each parent is given that chance.
Palmer High School incoming freshmen will benefit from the Link Crew mentoring program that has been put in place to ease your student's transition to high school. Implementation of this program came about as a direct result of the work of the Palmer High School Building Advisory and Accountability Committee (BAAC).
The BAAC advises the school administration on how to achieve the goals set by the annual School Improvement Plan, reviews the School Achievement Plan, reviews and creates parent/staff/student surveys, just to name a few specific functions of this committee.
We welcome fresh, new voices on our committee and I would personally invite you to attend one of our meetings so that you can see how we work. We meet the second Wednesday of each month at 7:00 a.m. for one hour in the Palmer High Community Room. Our first meeting at Palmer for the 2007-2008 school year will be on August 8, 2007.
If you have any questions you would like to have answered before you attend a meeting, please call either Lara Disney, Assistant Principal, at 328-5003, or the committee chair, Mike Bergst, at 963-5365.
Together we can make a difference!
Mike Bergst
Palmer BAAC Chairperson
