Our Summit is coming up on September 29. We hope that the RCS community really benefits from all the information that we want to share.
As part of that meeting, we are inviting parents to be a part of small focus groups, where parents can provide their own input.
Take a look below. As parents arrive, they will have a chance to choose which group they’d like to be in, though the earlier the better: each group will have up to 10 people and once they’re full, people will need to choose another.
SUMMIT INFORMATION
WHAT
The Summit is a gathering of the Rainbow Community to share our inspiration and ideas for the future of Rainbow. The ideas we generate will be used to shape the direction of Rainbow’s growth and development. Prepare for an energetic, fascinating and inspirational evening!
WHEN & WHERE
Monday September 29, 5:30 – 8:30 PM in the RCS Auditorium.
WHO
At least one parent of each Rainbow family (preschool optional) is requested to attend. This is a delightfully mandatory community meeting replacing the traditional fall mandatory classroom meeting.
FOOD
Light snacks will be provided. Bring your water bottle and any desired personal snacks.
CHILDCARE
Childcare will provided on the RCS campus. $15 per child. Bring a snack and water. You must RSVP by Wednesday 9/24 at the RCS office or via email with Kate in the office at info@rainbowlearning.org.
VOLUNTEERS
You will receive information via email and SignUpGenius about several volunteer opportunities in support of the Summit. This is a good way to contribute to the success of the Summit and earn some hours.
SCHEDULE
Sign up for each group will be on a first-come-first-served basis in the auditorium: be early to assure your group choice!
After an introductory program in the auditorium, we will divide into focus groups around the facility for brainstorming and sharing our inspiration.
Each facilitated group will be limited to ten participants. To cap off the evening each group will share their key ideas with the entire community in the auditorium.
YOUR PREPARATION
Come with your imagination hat on!
Be prepared to have some fun sharing your ideas for Rainbow’s future and to be inspired by those of others.
You will join one of the focus groups below for the brainstorming section of the Summit.
Each group will be asked to address several key questions per topic. Detailed information about each group is on the RCS website and will be posted around campus.
