J.E.B. Stuart Middle School recently hosted an FCAT Around the Clock Parent Workshop, providing parents with hands-on activities, strategies and information they could use at home to help their students in the areas of reading, science and math as they moved "around the clock" for workshop sessions.
Participation in an interactive science experiment and a delicious lunch catered by Sonny's Bar-B-Q were also a part of the parental activities. Drawings for prizes were offered at the end of each session and one parent was the winner of a new laptop computer!
Shirley Williams, the Title I contact for the school and coordinator of the event, thanks all the teachers and staff who made FCAT Around the Clock an exciting, educational experience for the parents.
T-3: Teaming up for Technology and Taxes
Parents also had the opportunity to participate in another learning experience - this one about finances and technology.
"T-3: Teaming up for Technology and Taxes" provided parents with helpful tax information from a financial professional, as well as a tutorial about student software that is available for their children both in school and at home. Afterwards, parents were treated to dinner.
