​Welcome to the Principal's Advisory Committee **The next meeting is Thursday, January 21st in the Illing Media Center from 6pm - 9pm. All Welcome. Come and let your opinions be heard! Dinner will be provided.**

Hello and welcome to the Principal's Advisory Committee (PAC) Wikispace! PAC has been re-established this year to work in partnership with our parents and extended community in support of student achievement. One of our main areas of focus is continuing to engage parents as partners. As a means of moving closer toward this goal, the committee and I are seeking your input as we develop goals and strategies framed around the following 6 indicators of parent involvement as defined by Joyce Epstein, from the National Network of Partnership Schools at Johns Hopkins University. Those indicators for successful school partnerships include: parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision making, collaborating with the community.For more information on parent involvement activities that support the 6 indicators, please go to the link below:
