Preschools will follow guidelines

 

Forum From Page 20
The first one is the parent contract Which

seeks to inform parents of their role in the
school, how school administrators should
respond to the students in the schools
and educate them on what happens if an
infraction takes place. Secondly, a stan-
dardized homework initiative will be in-
troduced for parents. This initiative is
being offered to avoid students becoming
overwhelmed with homework, he said.
They are requesting that high school stu-
dents are not given more than two hours
of homework each night and for primary
school students no more than 15 minutes
each evening. He encouraged parents to
not be naysayers but rather support the
educational process.

Mrs. Lenora Black, Superintendent of
Education for the Abaco District, stated
that the goal of the district still remains

 

excellence for all. Quality education can
only be delivered to students when there is
shared commitment to excellence for the
students in every school on the island.

Senior Island Administrator Cephas
Cooper said enthusiastically that he and
his team were there to show their support
for the Department of Education for the
wonderful work being done in the district.
He encouraged the educators from both
the public and private schools to continue
to do all they can to groom the children
who will become leaders of tomorrow. He
told them that he realizes that they make
huge sacrifices but he assured them that
they will not be in vain especially since
they have committed themselves to make
a difference in the lives of the children.

James Boyce and Conrad Cornish were
presented with special gifts by Mrs. Ag-
atha Archer, SEO for Preschools.

A luncheon followed the forum.
