A Message from the NT Parent (School) Council: The purpose of the NT Parent (School) Council is to provide parents with a greater connection to school activities, familiarity with the teaching and administrative staff and provide opportunities for parents to gain knowledge and skills to improve dialogue with their student(s). In hopes of furthering each of these connections, the council is pleased to announce the launch of the NTCI Parent (School) Council Facebook page. It has been created as a forum for discussion between parents of NTCI students. It is open to the public, and may be viewed by the students, but this time it's all about us! Members of the parent council executive will use this page to post news items and information that we hope you will find relevant. We encourage you to join the conversation and post items that you think other parents will find interesting and will build stronger relationships between all members of this community: students, parents, teaching staff and the school administration. Please give consideration to the fact that we want to continue to protect the privacy of teachers and students, so we ask that you avoid naming individuals. To get started, you can sign up for a Facebook user id for free by going to www.facebook.com<http://www.facebook.com/>. Those who already use Facebook can type "North Toronto Parent Council" or "NTCI Parent Council" in the search field and you will see it as a place for you to visit. For those who just attended Chris Vollum's presentation on Facebook 101 at the parent council meeting on April 11, you can use this as an opportunity to discuss privacy settings on Facebook with your student. Or for those who have just joined Facebook, you can have your student help you post your first comment. They'll feel so proud when they see you taking your first steps into the social media world. And don't forget to "Like" us so that you will receive updates. We look forward to hearing from you! The North Toronto Parent (School) Council Executive
