Parent Groups
The following parent groups are offered at Felix J. Appleby Elementary.
P.T.O.
The P.T.O. is an important group of Appleby parents here at our Elementary School. We encourage all parents to participate in this club through membership and attendance. Your support will show your concern and interest in your child’s learning success. Learning is a partnership of parent, child, and school. Our PTO is planning on having four to five major fundraisers to support our school activities this coming year. We encourage you to be active and to support our school and students during these fundraisers. We cannot do it without you!
There are many important activities that the P.T.O. club organizes such as after school events, field trips, and other student-supported programs. We can definitely use your help and ideas to make each one of these activities a positive experience for all of our students. Your child will bring home notices to keep you informed of all activities during the year.
SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL
We have a School Site Council consisting of parents, teachers, administrators, and other school personnel. The main function of the group is to have input for improving the program at our school. The group meets at least four times a year. Meetings are open to the public. You are welcome and encouraged to attend and discuss programs with a member of the Council. Minutes of the meetings are available upon request. Your ideas and suggestions are welcome and encouraged.
ENGLISH LEARNER ADVISORY COUNCIL (ELAC)
This committee is composed of school staff and parents of children in the English Development program. The committee advises and assists in planning educational programs to meet the needs of English language learners. At least one member is selected to represent Appleby Elementary at the District English Learner Advisory Council.
