Parent Community Council Meeting
Thursday, December 7th. 6:00 to 7:30 pm. Location: Professional Library.
We had two parent groups last year, The Parent Community Council was started a little over 4 years ago and has remained strong for 4 years. A little over 2 years ago we started the Friends of St. Albans City School, as a way of getting more parents involved. FSACS meetings were widely advertised, but there was not a great deal of interest. They met monthly. Last year the Parent Community Council invited the officers of the Friends of St. Albans City School to join the PCC. This year we decided to combine the two into one organization and see how that works.  We will meet three times a year (As the PCC has done) and invite new families to join. Our December meeting is focused on the Conscious Discipline feedback from our survey, and what the school might need to do to be supportive of the teams with the school-wide culminating event next week.  If this sounds like something you are interested in, please RSVP to Joan Cavallo jcavallo@maplerun.org. She can add you to the guest list and answer questions about the meeting December 7th from 6-7:30.
