MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL LAMBERT
Dear Mariano Castro Parents,
School Site Council (SSC) is a very important, legally required group that has half parents and half staff members (including the Principal). This spring we need to elect 3 new parent members as 3 terms are expiring. Parents who are interested are put on the ballot this spring and those who are voted in will begin in August.
The meetings are once a month in the early evening. If you would like to come and see a meeting to see how it runs, please check the Whistle calendar for the meeting dates and join us anytime as these are public meetings.
Theresa Lambert
