Help Needed!
Our School Community Council (SCC) and PTA need parents to serve in these organizations to help make decisions that impact your students. PTA participants meet once each month to help plan events and programs to support the school. If you are interested in participating in the PTA, please contact Brenda Wall, 596-8208.
Parents who express an interest in serving on the SCC may contact Mr. Ruesch, 578-8537 or Mrs. Kristina Bailey, 595-0572. Those interested will then be voted upon on May 28 at 4:00 p.m. during the final SCC meeting of the school year.
