School Site Council

School site council is an elected group of teachers, students, and parents that join the Principal to develop the school plan for student achievement, analyze school data, and review/evaluate school improvement programs. Each school has its own school site council.

It's a great way to get to know other parents, your student's school, and your student's principal.

There are usually four meetings a school year. 

Please reach out to your student's school site for more information on how to get involved.
