Additionally, in order to encourage and support stakeholder involvement, each school’s website contains the following information in both Spanish and English:

• Timely notices of board meetings and other school committee meetings that involve parents.
• Meetings held/interpreted in Spanish and English.
• Opportunities to share thoughts and opinions through email and PowerSchool Messenger, the interactive parent communication platform used by the school.
• Short summaries of issues, ideas, and decisions of school committees.
• At least two opportunities for parents to give detailed input on the Local Control Accountability Plan.

Parents are welcome and encouraged to volunteer at our school, however, parental involvement is not a requirement for acceptance to, or continued enrollment at, the charter school.
