The School Site Council is a body of elected volunteer family and staff who meet monthly and are responsible for:
maintaining the school vision;
annually reviewing the school’s progress on indicators of student engagement and achievement;
ensuring a plan is in place to address gaps in student achievement;
developing school policies;
approving the annual school budget; and,
hiring personnel.
SSC meets monthly, generally on the third Wednesday, from 6:00-7:00pm at the school. The meetings alternate between upper and lower campus and have a hybrid option for community members to participate via zoom if they're unable to attend in person. Zoom links are shared in the weekly e-bulletin from Mr. Foley.
ALL family and staff are invited to attend the SSC meetings and are encouraged to participate.
