Parent Advisory Committee
Highlights from the Meeting:
- Financial Report- Consensus was that support for teacher appreciation, 8th-grade promotion, and technology purchases were still committee priorities
- No additional fundraisers are wanted, in fact, some parents might be interested in a "buyout" option at the beginning of the year to not have to participate in the fundraising
- Parents and teachers found the student involvement in conferences helpful and suggested that goal sheets, like those used at the conferences, be sent home more often. Concerns about the amount of time required all in one night, especially with multiple children in multiple buildings, were voiced.
- Reviews from special events last year, the Read in Day and Student Showcase, were favorable. Parents expressed interest in having the Science Fair and Enrichment showcase incorporated into that evening.
