SCHOOL-COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS' RELATIONSHIPS PARENT ORGANIZATIONS
The Board recognizes the need for communication between parents and
staff and encourages involvement of parents in the formal education of
their children. Towards this end school newsletters or newspapers
shall be established and maintained in every school building in the
district. The building administrator shall be responsible for seeing
that these publications are sent to parents at least on a monthly
basis during each school year. Efforts shall be made to encourage
students and parents to work on these publications as well as building
staff members.
Further, the Board desires that formal
parent-teacher organizations be established and maintained in every
school building in the district. We expect that these organizations
will establish by-laws, elect officers, and conduct at least three
meetings during each school year. Evidence of these by-laws, officers,
and meeting dates shall be provided to the Assistant Superintendent
for Instruction who shall then keep the Board informed of these
building activities. Principals shall serve as advisors to these
organizations and all building personnel shall be encouraged to attend
the meetings of these organizations. It is our desire that each
building's parent-teacher organization become a school community of
actively involved parents and staff who will focus their combined
talents, energies, and activities towards the students of that
building.
