Fosters collaboration with community stakeholders to support student learning

 Parent Questionnaire comments from Mrs. Hand: "Parent and community members are invited to share their expertise with students at events such as college night, career night, by working with individual teachers as in my case: gave a workshop on charcoal drawing to the Art Class (Mrs. Mitchell). We're also invited to chaperone during field trips. I believe these are effective opportunities for us to support our kids' learning." Parent Questionnaire comments from __Mr. and Mrs. Maltais__: "The school fosters collaboration with the community through after school programs in the Base Youth Center, Child Development Center, and Base Library. The programs involve reading at all levels and make learning an enjoyable task. The other agencies in community work through the school mentorship programs to bring in adults to help students with subjects they have experience in." __Mrs. Stein:__  "Alconbury Middle/High School fosters collaboration through parent teacher conferences, and through Gradespeed. Gradespeed allows parents to see how their student is performing on almost a daily basis. Parents are also invited to academic ceremonies as well as school board meetings. I feel that Alconbury Middle/High School has an open door policy which fosters parent involvement and effectively supports student learning."  Mrs. Repetski's Comments:  It is nice to see the support of the base commanders at different functions and the fact that during orientation or parent conferences, the commanders make the place of duty that day to be the school. This certainly helps parents to actually attend.
 * 1) In what ways does the school foster collaboration with community stakeholders to support student learning? Are these effective? If not, how could they be improved?

The base also advertises school activities to encourage community participation. I feel this is effective.
