Learning at ARPS
June 2, 2006
Dear Everyone Learning @ Amherst, Regional, and Pelham Schools:
"It wasn't like this when I went to school!"
We hear that statement often.
So what is school like today? Tune in to Channel 15 at one of the times noted below to see!
Wildwood Elementary School has produced a fifteen minute slide presentation of " A Day in the Life of Wildwood." Representative of all of our schools, the presentation illustrates all aspects of school, the roles of many adults, the lessons and activities, and, of course, the smiles on the faces of children!
For those who do not have children in school and hear discussions about paraprofessionals, intervention, inclusion, and other essential features of school today, this presentation illustrates the "whole picture" of school today.
It will air on:
Friday (today) at 7:30 p.m.
Saturday & Sunday at 11:00 a.m., 3:00 and 7:00 p.m.
Monday at 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
Also, you may enjoy "Hurricane Highlights," a one-hour program of interviews produced by ARHS students. It will air tonight (Friday, June 2) at 6:00 P.M.
Both shows are airing on channel 15.
Enjoy!
Jere Hochman
Superintendent
