Our School Improvement Council, PTA, and various community organizations support us. Our School Improvement Council meets regularly to discuss the academic progress of our school and to discuss parental involvement activities and community support for school events. We have 100% parental participation in parent-teacher conferences. Parent Workshops are held throughout the school year focusing on the following areas: Early Reading Strategies, Gifted and Talented, Math, technology, and various parenting topics such as Utilizing Parent Portal, Assessment, and Middle School and Beyond. These workshops were held at varied times of the day.
