April First Thursday
Coffee and Conversation
with Head of School,
Michael Zimmerman
Thursday, April 6, 2017 |
8:00 am
Schoolhouse Community Room
Do you have strong feelings about standardized tests? Are you curious about the performance of Friends School Haverford students on the Educational Records Bureau exams (ERBs)? Please join learning specialist, Amy McCann, and me for a conversation about standardized testing.
First Thursday Coffees provide an opportunity for parents to socialize, share feedback, raise issues, and ask questions of their own. We will gather at 8:00 am to enjoy refreshments and each other's company. We will begin the meeting at 8:15 am.
If the topic of this month's coffee is of interest to you but you are unable to attend the meeting, please feel free to contact
Nancy Hurley in the office to schedule an appointment to meet with me at a time that is convenient for you. Regular and forthright discussion, open lines of communication, and the exchange of ideas improve our community. I am grateful for your support. I am always happy to hear from you.
I hope to see you there,
Michael
