Good afternoon Panther families, We will be sending students home due to a power outage at the school, Buses will run as normal please be available to pick up your kids. Any questions please contact the school at 707-925-6230.
Do you want to be more involved in your local school? Do you have GREAT ideas that we need to hear about? Site Council NEEDS you and your energy. We will meet once a month, and the meeting time and format will be decided by the group once we have assembled.
Some of the things we will be looking at are:
Ways to increase parental input and involvement in school. Specifically we need to start collecting parent input in a sustained and meaningful way. How do we do that?
School communication plans and programs - how can we communicate better?
Address student social and emotional needs - what are some things that we can do as a school to help improve student social and emotional health?
What else do we need to think about? You all know, so come and tell us! :)
If you are interested in being a part of the school Site Council, email Amber at amber@leggett.k12.ca.us or text 707-354-3465. Feel free to spread the word to parents who might not be on social media.
