Parents
and community members are vital partners in the education
of our students and are provided with numerous opportunities
to be actively involved. At the school site, parents
can volunteer, join PTSA, serve on Title I or Bilingual
advisory committees, or School Site Advisory Councils.
Local District 8 also provides parents and community
members with opportunities to be involved in the Local
District Parent Community Advisory Council (LDPCAC),
Council of Councils, CEAC/ELAC, and PHBAO.
We
are proud of our students and their accomplishments,
but we acknowledge that there are areas of needed improvement.
Local District 8 is committed to continuing and improving
collaborative partnerships with all of our stakeholders
- our parents, teachers, administrators, and community
members. Together, we will strive to provide an educational
environment that eliminates the achievement gap, raises
student achievement for all students, and provides outstanding
instruction in every classroom in Local District 8.
