PAC Elections 2015/2016

One of the best ways to get involved with your children’s school is through the PAC executive. We are a small group of commiteed parents who meet for monthly executive meetings to plan and organize events, discuss school related challenges and opportunities, and endeavor to make the school year a great success!

It’s also a great way to meet fellow parents in the community!

If you’d like to join the executive, elections for the upcoming school year will be held during our May 28th PAC meeting at 7pm! Come on out and put your name in the running!

Spring Fun Night 2016

We are busy working on a long term plan for an exciting spring event for next year (2016). While it may seem early to get things going, we want to have an amazing event… and that requires a great deal of planning, and volunteers. We are aiming to create a carnival event with food, games, prizes, and fun activities for the whole family!

We are currently seeking committee members to help in a variety of areas– absolutely NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED. Just bring your positive attitude and any ideas that excite you!

Feel free to reach out to any of the committee chairs to join a team!

On April 10th, we received an important letter from the Superintendent of Schools that discusses the upcoming plan to address our growing community of students as they progress from Elementary to Middle school and beyond. This letter has been sent home with all students and can also be read online, here:
