I regard it as the foremost task of education to insure the survival of these qualities:  an enterprising curiosity, an undefeatable spirit, tenacity in pursuit, readiness for sensible self denial, and above all, compassion.

Place to Meet

We are looking for a place to hold a public forum meeting in the Canyon Lake area.  If anyone has suggestions of a local public place that might be able to accommodate us, please email Robyn at rrogers@aberdoveyschool.org.

This meeting will last about 2 hours.  At the end of the meeting, attendees will be able to make the following statements:

1.  I can explain what a charter school is - who can attend, how it is governed, and what makes it different from other public schools.
2.  I can explain the basic process for creating a charter school.
3.  I can describe what EL is and how it helps students learn.
4.  I can name at least three EL Design Principles and Core Practices and explain what they are.
5.  I am committed to being a part of the Task Force to create this charter school.

Please plan to attend.  If we do not find a public venue, Robyn will hold this first meeting at her home.
