School staff are happy to talk with you about how you can be involved in your child’s learning, and there are many opportunities at the school to make a difference.  In addition to helping your child at home, there is a place for your voice to be heard at your child's school, and at the district level.

Parent Advisory Councils (PACs)

Every school has a Parent Advisory Council.  The PAC represents all parents or guardians of children attending that school, and advises the principal, staff and school district on any matter relating to the school.  All parents are welcome to attend PAC meetings, or if schedules don’t permit, to maintain contact with the PAC Chair.  Contact your school for more information.

 

School Planning Councils (SPCs)

Every school has a School Growth Plan, goals for student success which are reviewed and rewritten every year.  School Planning Councils develop, monitor and review these School Growth Plans.  An SPC is made up of the principal, 3 parents and 1 teacher and may also include school support staff and students.  Contact your school or your PAC to find out more about the SPC at your school.

 

District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC)

Just as the Parent Advisory Council advises the school on matters of importance to parents, the DPAC provides the voice of parents across the district to the Board of Education of Education and school district staff.  Click on the link to the left to find out more about how DPAC works for parents.
