Announcements

 Dear East-West Parents and Guardians,

Our next PTA meeting will be held on Saturday April 2, 2011 at 10:00 a.m.  Please join us for a Taste of South Asia Breakfast Buffet and catch up on everything that is happening in the School.  We will hear a report from our elected Student Council leaders about plans that the Senior Class is making, as well as other topics.  A representative from White Coffee, which has offered to provide coffee to the school for our PTA meetings, will introduce us to that company. 

After attending to the usual business portion of the meeting, we will get the latest news and information specific to East-West from the PTA and Principal, Mr. Sherman, as well as our Assistant Principals, Ms. Oh and Ms. Panday.  And we do our best to allow plenty of time for a question and answer period so that the concerns of the parents can be addressed by the school administration.  As always, Spanish and Chinese translators will be present to help out. 

Immediately following the PTA meeting (approximately 11:15), Mrs. Park will give a workshop about how parents of students in lower grades (not seniors) can plan ahead for college.  We hope many parents can stay for this informative presentation.

Please do join us on April 2 to get to know better our teachers, administrators, and other parents, and to help make the most of your child’s education.

Sincerely,

PTA Executive Board 

East-West School of International Studies
