School Advisory Committee (SAC)
SAC is the school's steering committee, made up of the school’s leadership team (principals and teachers), parents, and community members. Everyone is welcome to join the committee and provide ideas on how to best serve our students or just sit, listen and learn more about how you can support your child’s education. Please email Dr. Flint if you are interested in becoming an official SAC member.

Ongoing Goals…..
Improving English Language Arts and Math achievement.
Standardizing communication between home and school.
Determine how classroom teachers, related arts (specials: art. music, P.E.), and parents can work together to offer more project-based learning opportunities for our students. This type of learning is hard-work on everyone’s part, but studies show that it is far more enjoyable and memorable. Project-based learning also provides students with more relevant experiences that prepare them for the real-world and provide better comprehension of complex subjects. The basics are also presented and learned in project-based learning, so don’t worry, our students will still learn reading, writing and math – it’ll just be easier and more fun to remember. Many of our teachers currently use project-based learning in their classrooms and SAC would like to see it expanded to all classrooms.
