Council Members

We need you to participate on our school community council! Council members are chosen by election and are a mixture of school staff and community members. Candidacy and election procedures begin in August. You are welcome to attend anytime to see how it works. It is a once a month meeting for an hour. We would love to have more parents involved!

Invitation to serve on the council: We warmly invite parents to serve on our school's community council. Information about council vacancies, declarations of candidacy forms, and elections are emailed sent out in August of each year.

Serving on the Community Council allows parents to directly influence the way state-allocated LAND Trust funds are used during the school year, which can include programs, materials, and other education-based solutions. Our families play an important role in deciding how these funds are used to improve our school community.
