Primary Center Parents & Guardians: You are invited to attend our Parent Advisory Committee Meeting on August 28 at 3:30 pm!
Our Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) plays a crucial role in ensuring that our programs are effective and responsive to the needs of students and families. PACs provide a platform for parents to collaborate with school staff, offer input on program design, and implementation, and advocate for student success.
Advocate for Student Needs:
PACs advocate for the needs of students, ensuring that programs and services are tailored to address their unique challenges and promote their academic success.
Promote Parent and Family Engagement:
PACs play a vital role in promoting parent and family engagement, fostering strong communication and collaboration between families and schools.
Organize Parent Involvement Activities:
PACs may organize and facilitate various parent involvement activities, such as workshops, meetings, and events, to enhance parents' understanding of programs and empower them to support their children's learning.
Monitor and Evaluate Program Effectiveness:
PACs help to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of programs, collecting feedback from parents and other stakeholders to identify areas for improvement and ensure that programs are meeting the needs of students.
Communicate with School Administration and Other Stakeholders:
PACs serve as a bridge between parents and the school administration, facilitating communication and collaboration on Title I-related matters.
Address Barriers to Participation:
PACs work to identify and address barriers that may prevent parents from participating in programs, such as language barriers, transportation challenges, or lack of awareness.
Develop Leadership and Advocacy Skills:
PAC members develop their leadership and advocacy skills through their involvement in the committee, empowering them to be effective advocates for their children and other students.
Share Information and Resources:
PACs share information about programs, parent involvement activities, and resources with other parents and school staff, ensuring that all stakeholders are informed and engaged.
By actively participating in these responsibilities, Parent Advisory Committees contribute significantly to the success of school programs and the overall academic achievement of students. Come help us make our school even better!
You can add other children to this same account using the access code that you received from their teacher. Once you have logged into the program, click the down arrow in the top right corner by your name and select "Add Child" from the menu and enter the code that you were given for the child.

For the safety of our students, we ask that you only drop off your children in the newly paved parking lot and at the back door. Prek students need dropped off in the newly paved lot where staff will be waiting for them. Please do not drop off prek students out back.
Our bus drivers use the front parking lot & main entrance for dropping off and picking up our students, so we ask that you avoid this area in the mornings and at pick up time.
Thank you for your cooperation with this process. We are looking forward to another great year with all of our Tiger Cubs!
