LIAISON COMMITTEES
The
Early Childhood Center (ECC), Lower School, Middle School and
Upper School each has a liaison committee. These committees are
organized to serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas among
parents, the faculty and the administration. The committees are
comprised of parent representatives, administrators, faculty,
the headmaster of each school, the school administrator and the
school principal. Liaison meetings are held every six weeks in
order to discuss parental concerns regarding the school, grade
or class. Parents are encouraged to contact their liaison representatives
with any issues. The liaison committee, together with the administration,
review these concerns and, when appropriate, place them on the
agenda for the next meeting. If a topic requires further attention
or action, a committee of parents and administrators may be formed.
The
president of Parents Council, in consultation with the administration,
selects the liaison representatives for each grade. The ECC has
three representatives per grade, the Lower School has four representatives
pergrade and the Middle School has three to four representatives
per grade. In the Upper School, each grade has approximately six
liaison members, representing a cross section of communities in
which the students live. The liaison committee chairs and grade
representatives serve two-year terms.
CLASS PARENTS
Each class in the ECC and Lower School has two class parents who are responsible for the following:
- Scheduling and monitoring parent-teacher conferences
- Arranging for parents to accompany the class on trips
- Phoning parents in the class before special events
- Communicating information from the teachers to the parents
Parents are encouraged to contact their class parents with any issue relating to the entire class.
