Parent/Community Involvement 

The school district is fortunate to have strong parental involvement In our schools. Parental involvement is important to our programs. Parents and teachers stay in touch to encourage student performance. Strong parent organizations support the work of all District schools. Parents and community members support the School District by participating in our active Parent/Teacher organizations; volunteering as tutors or chaperones, sharing ideas at school building team meetings, attending student performances and so much more.
