Washington Parent Advisory Council

The shift in grades at Washington School also brings about a change in the title and purpose to the parent group associated with Early Childhood Family Education and School Readiness. The Parent Advisory Council is seeking a diverse group of parents to assist in program planning and decision-making at our school. Involved parents will be supported and empowered through advocacy skills as family engagement is strengthened. Community professionals will also be welcome to provide input and guidance.  Meetings will be held at Washington School from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m.   Please notify the office in advance if you plan to request care for your child during the meeting by calling 281-2762.​​​​​
