| Parents’
Association Monthly Meeting Wednesday,
May 7, 2008
7:00 PM @ Bronx Science
Kyle McCarthy, Chair of the School Leadership Team (SLT), will present and discuss findings of the SLT. We will be holding nominations for two parent representatives of the SLT, for new two-year terms. The election will be held at the June 4th meeting. Also at the June 4th meeting elections will be held for:
Parents of Incoming Students Its not too early to
get involved! You are welcome to attend upcoming events!
School Communications If you are not
receiving the incredibly valuable weekly e-mails from our parent
coordinator, then perhaps the school does not have your email. Click
here to get on the list. Also confirm that your e-mail is in
the web college resource system: Naviance
Wanted: Mentors As more schools
participate in Intel, the competition for mentors gets tougher
>>> Can your lab or university mentor a Bronx Science student? <<< Each year about 80 students enter the Bronx Science research program, a 3-year sequence that provides motivated kids with in-depth experience doing research. After a year spent reading professional papers in their area of interest and learning basic research techniques, the students select a topic for a long-term project. We need your help finding great mentors for about 20 sophomores now embarking on their research. Physical science and biology students need access to sophisticated labs and dynamite scientists; they commit to working two summers at the mentor's institution. High quality social science and math mentors are also in demand. Got ideas? Contacts? Email or call Dr. Jean Donahue at jdonahu@schools.nyc.gov or (718) 817-7714. Budget Cuts Mayor
Bloomberg and
Schools Chancellor Klein have instituted an immediate 1.75% budget cut
for schools, translating into a loss of $238,000 for Bronx
Science. Coming in the middle of the year, the loss is
painful.
