                                The Role of the Parent Advisory Council
                             
                            
                                The Parent Advisory Council helps our children meet the challenges of change and learning through strong parent/guardian and community involvement. The PAC is also your voice in the school system. We hope our PAC will strengthen your family's positive connections with our school. When parents and educators assume responsibility to support their child's learning, everyone benefits--especially the learner!
