Family Council

Every parent, guardian and family member with a child in the school is a member of the Family Council.

The Family Council meets every month to share information, discuss timely issues, coordinate parent volunteer opportunities, arrange support for all-school events, organize fundraisers, support orientation of new parents, organize for advocacy on educational issues, coordinate with city-wide parent and community groups, and-- most importantly-- to enjoy one another as a community. Meeting dates are announced in the school newsletter. Dinner and child care are always provided unless otherwise noted.

The Family Council meetings are planned and chaired by the Family Executive Committee, which is comprised of the five parent representatives and two alternates elected to the Governance Board, plus a treasurer to be elected by the Family Council. Agenda additions, suggestions or feedback for the Council, and other concerns can be directed to any one of the Family Executive Committee members. See the school newsletter for contact info. or use the Parent Council mailbox in the office. The Family Executive Committee will change each January when its members come up for reelection.
