This past April and May we had our first meetings with the director of the school, Angie Briceño. The idea behind “Coffee with Angie” is to give the parents of Futuro Verde the opportunity to ask questions concerning the school and to create an atmosphere of open and transparent communication. It is also an opportunity to bring together parents and staff to get to know each other while bringing positive ideas to solving challenges at the school.
At these first few meetings we addressed several topics that have been recurring themes on the PTO WhatsApp chat (click here to join). We discussed FV lice protocol, uniform expectations, and drop off and pick up safety concerns. We also created a phone tree (a system of communication with families using cell phones) in case of a school emergency. Lastly, we worked on supporting staff in planning the Fun Run school event for Wednesday, July 14th.
It is our hope to continue these monthly meetings into the next school year so that the Parent/ Teacher Organization can bring families together and coordinate more activities that support our students and staff at Futuro Verde to build a stronger sense of community.
