The School Advisory Council is a representative, school-building-based committee composed of the principal, parents/caregivers, teachers, and community members. The role of the SAC is to assist the principal in reflecting on programming, shaping school goals, and guiding teaching and learning. We are looking for one more parent/caregiver to join our School Advisory Council (SAC) for the coming year. Please reach out to rbenoit@mursd.org if you are interested in joining this team. Meetings are once a month, on Thursdays at 3:30 pm. Future meeting dates are still being determined.
