Frequently Asked Questions

While we think we’ve done a pretty good job of providing lots of useful information on this Web site, we know we aren’t perfect. If you have a question you'd like answered, let us know by completing our contact form. We’ll get back to everyone and post the most popular questions here.

Can I attend council meetings if I am not an elected member?

Yes!—in fact, we encourage it! While it is true that only elected members have a vote, every person who attends has a voice. You can also be a member of a subcommittee, in fact you can even chair a subcommittee, even if you are not an elected member. There is plenty for everyone to do and we’d like our council to represent our school community accurately. So please come out, attend our meetings and get involved. You are welcome!

What time are the meetings? How long do they last?

The meetings begin at 7:00 pm and are scheduled to last an hour and a half.

How do I get an item on the agenda?

Contact either one the chair or principal two weeks prior to the meeting at which you would like to discuss your topic.

I miss all the meetings, but want to help. What can I do?

Good question! We know that it’s not easy to attend each meeting, but is important that the council accurately reflect our school community and maintain a school-wide perspective on issues. Here’s a few suggestions:

• Check out our Subcommittee page and see if there is an area in which you’d like to be involved. Contact the subcommittee chair to see how you can participate.
• Read through the meeting minutes. If there is a issue that interests you, contact the person coordinating the issue.
• If you have limited time, volunteer for a one-time job. For example, we will need many volunteers to “work” for a bit during our upcoming fund raiser. Contact the and let her know you’d like to volunteer.
• and let her know what talents you possess that you would be willing to share. We will add your name to our resource list and contact you when your help is needed.
