East Ramapo Calendar '06-'07

January
Getting Involved!
VOLUNTEERING is a very special way to contribute to our East Ramapo community, and
especially to our children, who are our future. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, or
community member, the children of East Ramapo need you for a variety of volunteering
opportunities…from guest reading and one-on-one reading to being a mentor, class parent,
museum docent, home visitor or participant in Junior Achievement. We will find the perfect
fit for your interests and schedule. Please call 845-577-6167 to find out more.
INVOLVEMENT OF PARENTS and community residents in the educational process of
East Ramapo is crucial to the success of the children we educate. Involvement takes many
forms. These include participation in various district-wide planning and focus groups, as
well as direct involvement with students. To find out how you can help us help our children,
please call 577-6167.
THE PTA COUNCIL and its school units also offer wonderful opportunities for involvement,
sponsoring and helping to fund literally hundreds of activities for the District’s students. To
find out more about the PTA, please call one of the phone numbers listed on the last page
of this calendar.

comprehension questions that demonstrate their understanding of
the passages.
For the Listening section of the ELA test, students listen to a passage
and apply skills and knowledge gained in the classroom to answer
comprehension questions. The questions are designed to demonstrate
students’ understanding of the passage.

The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as
that every child should be given the wish to learn.
