Parents Needed
School Site Council (SSC) Announcement:
The McKinley School Site Council (SSC) is now soliciting nominations for two new parent representatives! The SSC consists of staff representatives and parent representatives each serving two-year terms. The Council meets monthly via Webex to develop and monitor the implementation of the School Plan for Student Achievement. The Council also allocates Supplemental site funds received from the state. Serving on the SSC is a great opportunity to interact with school leadership and provide feedback on key issues that affect the entire school. Please be on the look out for the nomination form.
Annual Fund Committee
Our wonderful McKinley Annual fund has successfully raised funds to support the Arts at McKinley. Many of the committee members, are now parents of high schoolers. Therefore, we are seeking energetic, organized and innovative parents to serve on the Annual Fund Committee. The Annual Fund Committee meets monthly on the First Tuesday of the month.
If you are interested in serving on the Annual Fund Committee, please email Mr. Harris harris.ivan@pusd.us
School Site Council
we are in need of two, maybe three parents to join the School Site Council. The SSC is a very important committee as the members of the committee work closely with the school staff to develop the school budget, create plans to support English Language Learners, Foster Youth and students who generate Title I funding. If you are interested in joining, please complete the SSC Interest Form.
