Vancouver Public Schools’ first patron tour of the 2014-2015 school year is Nov. 7. Led by Superintendent Steve Webb, the tour will provide an in-depth look at learning opportunities at Fruit Valley Community Learning Center and Peter S. Ogden Elementary School.
The tour of Fruit Valley will highlight its Family-Community Resource Center, community partnerships and full-day kindergarten program.
At Ogden, visitors will learn how an elementary school creates a culture of respect and caring by implementing clear behavioral expectations, bullying-prevention programs, social-emotional learning and academic interventions.
The free tour begins and ends at the Bates Center for Educational Leadership, 2921 Falk Road. The tour starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 1 p.m. After visiting Fruit Valley and Ogden, guests have the option of a student musical performance and a lunch prepared by culinary arts students. Lunch is $4 per person.
All are welcome, but space is limited. To sign up, visit www.vansd.org/PatronTours or contact Sue Knable at 360-313-4720.
