From the Principal's Desk
Dear Blossom Hill Families:
Please mark your calendar for our first School Site Council (SSC) meeting scheduled for Thursday, September 29th from 2:45-3:45 in the multi-purpose room. The SSC’s primary responsibility is to ensure our school is continually improving by implementing state adopted curriculum and the best research-based instructional practices. The focus of the Council’s work is to continue to strengthen our academic and social/emotional programs so all children may achieve to their fullest potential. The SSC is responsible for the understanding, development, and implementation of the Single Plan for Student Achievement. This plan is a record of the vision, goals, objectives, and strategies developed by our school community and should be understood by all stakeholders.
The SSC is composed of equal representation of two groups – parents/community members and school personnel. Peer groups select their members and each term of office is staggered in two-year terms to ensure continuity. Decisions made by the Council are made by majority vote. If you are interested in serving as a parent member, or just want to learn more about the work the Council does, please contact me or join us at our first meeting.
The SSC will meet monthly throughout the school year. All meetings will be held on Thursdays from 2:45 to 3:45. The meeting dates are: 9/29, 10/27, 12/1, 1/26, 2/16, 4/27, and 5/18.
I strongly encourage all interested parents, elected to a position or not, to attend any or all SSC meetings. I welcome your input and highly value your perspective and participation.
In education together,
Lisa Reynolds, Principal
