Duveneck School Site Council Seeking Parents/Family Members to Join our Council
The Duveneck School Site Council (SSC) is seeking 3-4 parents/family members to join our council this year.
The SSC is a decision-making body that represents all stakeholders of the school community. The school principal, teachers, other school personnel and parents make up this group. Each member of the SSC shares their unique perspective and knowledge of the school’s needs, as they affect all students, during SSC meetings.
The SSC's primary purpose is to develop, monitor and revise the Single Plan for Student Achievement and the SSC allocates resources to support the plan. By working cooperatively, all elements of the school population ensure that each school site plan focuses resources upon improvement strategies, which guarantee that all students meet high standards.
Our meetings will take place on Monday afternoons, 3:00-4:00 PM, on the following dates:
September 27
October 25
November 29
January 31
February 28
March 28
April 25

If you are interested in joining this important and dynamic school leadership team, please fill out the Duveneck Site Council Parent Application Form.
