School Site Council
School Site Council (SSC) is a representative group made up of our principal, teachers, parents and community members. Each group selects its own participants. Non-members are invited to attend the monthly meetings, pass their concerns on to an SSC member or write a letter to the Council. The more voices heard, the better the SSC can do its job as representative of the whole school community.
Responsibilities
The primary responsibility for the SSC is to develop a three-year school improvement plan. This plan is evaluated and updated annually. Our current goals focus on Language Arts, Mathematics, Communication and Technology. For the community, the SSC is the forum to address all school-related issues. Playground equipment, homework policy and curriculum continuity are some of the topics that have been discussed.
Meetings
All are welcome to attend a monthly meeting or talk to an SSC member about issues that concern them. SSC meetings are held monthly. The regularly scheduled time is determined at the beginning of the school year and will be announced in the “Hawkeye".
New Membership
If you are interested in becoming an SSC member, please submit your name to the school office for elections held in the spring. There are openings for new parents every year.
