Happy Friday Citizens of Nellie!
Week in Review:
On Thursday evening we held our March School Council meeting online. We know we make better decisions to support student learning when we build understanding and work together. During this School Council meeting, individuals learned about school planning, which includes the school development plan, school budget and school fees
Watch this short video to learn about the planning work schools do to improve and support student learning.
The following school planning documents are shared publicly on our website:
Report to Parents on Fees 2023-24 School Development Plan 2024-2 School Improvement Results Report 2023-24
Feedback is important as we consider school planning. When students, families and staff work closely together, students achieve greater success in their learning. Thank you in advance for responding to the questions in this short survey. Your voice is integral to our school planning process.
Please share your perspectives on our school development plan, school budget and school fees through this online survey open from March 14-March 28: 2025 School Planning Survey - Nellie McClung
I am happy to meet with parents to answer any questions. Please reach out!
