High School Parent Advisory Committee met Wednesday

The parent advisory committee for the High School met yesterday. Those present included yours truly, the  Hales, Ms. Gillespie, Ms. Provencher, Ms. Carter, Mr. Snoddy, Ms. Barrett, and the principal Roman Renteria. Items discussed included:

school safety: Mr. Renteria said we don't have any major problems

survey: to determine a baseline for students, teachers and parents as to their level of satisfaction with various aspects of the school, the group decided to formulate surveys for each group

communication: The group agreed that communication could be improved through the use of email for parents. When the surveys are sent out they will also make an effort to gather email addresses from those parents interested in that form of communication. The committee also noted that more use of the school's automated phone system would improve communication. The group recommended that things like the survey and various statistics that are maintained by the school be posted to the school's website.

enhancing curriculum: There was discussion about adding aspects to the curriculum that would help students develop themselves as community members.

Parent Advisory Committee meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month.
