SITE COUNCIL PARENTS NEEDED
The School Based Coordinated Council is a leadership and decision-making body of administrators, teachers, parents and students. Annual elections are held to fill vacancies on the Council.
This year, we are looking for two interested parents to run for a two year term on the Council. Meetings are held after school, and there will be very few meetings this year, as the main item of business is overseeing thee development and approval of the Single School plan for NHMS. Membership on the Council provides parents the opportunity to significantly contribute to our program. If you would like to be involved in this program, we will be posting a letter in the next day or two that you can download from School Loop and return with your information in order to be included in the election. Go to www.niguelhills.schoolloop.com/ and download the letter. Please complete the information and return it to Donna Mora, Office Manager, no later than Monday, October 5, 2009.
