Ward School Council

 Looking for Applicants- due June 5th

The Ward School Council provides a vital link between parents, teachers, administrators and community members.  We believe that this collaborative work will enhance the educational experience of all children at Ward School.
 
We are accepting applications to fill two seats on the School Council.  The Council is composed of parents, teachers, the principal, and a community member.  It is an advisory body that meets four to five times a year and is involved in many aspects of Ward School -  a recent example being an evening with the Chair of the Newton School Committee and several Aldermen to discuss the impact of budget cuts on Ward School.
 
The major responsibilities of the Ward School Council are to assist the principal in:
*   Adopting educational goals for the school
*    Identifying the educational needs of students attending the school
*    Reviewing the school building's annual budget
*     Formulating a school improvement plan.
 
Please submit a one page written statement as to why you would be an effective member of the Ward School Council to Mindy Frankel Peckler, School Council Chair, by Friday, June 5.  Please leave all applications with Susan Tempesta in the main office.
