Welcome to Norseman Junior Middle School! We’d like to introduce ourselves if you haven’t already heard of us. The SAC aka “Parent Council” is made up of any parents of children attending the school; our principals; teachers; and an elected committee of parents. We are a volunteer council governed by a set of ByLaws.

What do we do? The Parent Council (SAC) connects parents, teachers, administration, and the community at large. We are tasked with overall improvement of our children’s school experience, fundraising initiatives, and community building events. The parent council advises the principal and the board on a variety of issues and activities relating to student achievement, curriculum goals, budget priorities and school safety.

Who are we?

Attending the Parent Council is simple! Attend our monthly meetings either via zoom or in person to listen and/or participate in conversations on what is happening at our school. The more parents we have the more views and issues can be represented to truly support all the Norseman students.

Joining the Parent Council is also simple! Sign up to be a voting member at our first meeting. Attend our monthly meetings either via zoom or in person without missing three meetings to remain a voting member. As a voting member you can vote on any decisions that the council has at every meeting. You can also nominate yourself for any of the Parent Council Positions at the start of the year; the current voting members will vote you in. An agenda for the meeting will be sent out a few days in advance of every meeting so keep an eye out for "Parent Council Meeting Agenda” email or check the "meetings & newsletters" page of our website.

Join our Meetings held once a month at the Norseman School Library from 6:30 – 8:30pm. Childcare is provided for the duration of our meetings. If you can’t attend in person, consider joining via THIS GOOGLE LINK **NEW**
