If asking your teenager that gets you only a shrug or a grunt (or both, on a good day) - then you might need another way to keep on top of upcoming events. Here are a few suggestions:

The Vancouver District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC) will be running another PAC 101 session for any interested parents/guardians. Remember, if you have a student at Tupper, then you are a member of the PAC. Want to know more about what that means and what PACs do? Come to this presentation to find out.
PAC 101 Thursday, October 24 7:00-9:30 pm Vancouver Education Centre Room 180, 1580 West Broadway You can find out more about this session including how to register here. If you can't make it to the event but would like to see the presentation anyway, the slides are available online . Please join us on Thursday, October 10 at 7 pm in the staff lounge for our next meeting. This is an important one - as you will see from the agenda, we will primarily be reviewing and discussing the requests for funding from this year's Community Gaming Grant. The minutes from September's meeting can be found here. An overview of this year's funding requests is available here. More details on individual requests will be available at the meeting. Voting on the disbursement of funds will happen at the November meeting. You can check out this FAQ document for more information about Gaming Grants in general, including how the PAC is allowed to use the funds. The Vancouver District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC) recently held a "PAC 101" event designed for everyone wondering what exactly PACs are, what they do, and how they (and DPACs and BCCPAC) fit into the education system in BC.
Unfortunately the event was on the same night as Tupper's Parent Walkabout - but the good news is, they will be holding another session later in the fall (date TBA), and they have also made the presentation available online here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_B391XW865KWkRjc2FDY2hHNlJhSDhtVlR4bVlqN01YOXdV/view It's great information and well worth a look - even if you are already familiar with PACs, you will probably learn something new! |
