Parent Involvement
School Site Council (SSC)
This is a small leadership group that meets monthly to discuss the school plan, programs, school wide data and budget. This group is made up of administrators, teachers, staff members and parents. For more information contact Rita Leon in the main office. Its purpose is to determine, implement, and oversee the necessary task to become a successful Community School and it has the responsibility of planning, implementing, establishing a budget, and evaluating the School Improvement Plan. Members of the School Site Council are elected every year and it is one way of directly involving parents, teachers, students and community members in conversations about their school. This forum welcomes all parents to participate. Meeting dates are announced in the monthly calendar.
English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC)
The purpose of ELAC is threefold. First, through ELAC meetings parents are informed of the school’s programs to bring children who are English language learners to fluency. Second, the parents are asked to advise the school of ways that it may support these English learners. Finally, through ELAC, parents are oriented to the school system and are given additional information so they may support their children at home. New officers are elected every year and parents suggest topics for future meetings. ELAC meets at least five times per school so please check the school calendar for dates.
