Hello, Classen Families,
 
As a representative of Classen parents, I have been involved in a planning process to make it the best school possible, and we need your input.  We are requesting participation from other groups including students, teachers and community leaders, but I cannot imagine any perspective being more important than yours, as you reflect the broadest perspective.  I need your response to the following question:
 
Think about the ideal school  What would be important for this school "system" to do to meet the needs of students and all other school customers and stakeholders?
 
Think about this question and give me your response.  You may email me, call and talk to me (my home telephone is 751-3008), or jot down your thoughts and bring them to the PTSA meeting on Tuesday, October 18.  But PLEASE let me hear from you - this would be an incomplete process without your perspective.
 
Also, we have a great group leading our PTSA activities this year and would love to have you join us.  Our Tuesday meeting will be held in the Classen Auditorium at 6:00 p.m., and the brief meeting will be followed by a showing of the art works of some of our high school students.
 
A common denominator among the best schools is parental involvement. Many factors affecting our children's education are beyond our control, but not this.
 
Thank you for your help.
