Interested in being a Member of our Site Council?
The School Site Council serves as the school community representative body for determining the focus of the school's academic instructional programs and related categorical resources. We are looking for four parent representatives to sit on this council. The group will also include teachers, the principal, and a classified staff member as well. If there are more than four parents interested in these roles, we will hold a small election.
Please email Principal Grey at agrey@petk12.org if you are interested.
Cheers!
