Parents Needed for School Site Council

We need to elect THREE (3) parent representatives to McMillin’s School Site Council (SSC) for the 2023 – 2024 school year. The purpose of this council is to monitor the progress of our school plan, which includes the budgets to accompany it. Parent representatives provide valuable input concerning the curriculum and activities that expand the core curriculum assured by district categorical funding. 

The School Site Council is an elected decision-making body for the school. Parents represent half of the 10-member committee. If you have the time and the interest to serve on the School Site Council (SSC), please provide your name and information below. It is a wonderful opportunity to become very familiar with our school and help provide input into school-wide decision-making. This is a 2-year term. Sixth grade parents can serve only one year but may run in this election.   

If you are interested in having your name placed on the ballot, please fill out and return the information form below. This form needs to be completed and returned to the school office by Monday, July 31st, 2023. SSC meetings are held monthly; 3:00-4:00 pm and they will be virtual for this year. Here are the meeting dates this school year:

PTA Elections

As you know, the PTA plays a vital role in supporting events and the success of our students.

That’s why I am reaching out to encourage all of our parents to consider running for a position on the PTA board.
