The School Committee is an advisory body of parents who volunteer to meet monthly with the principal and also have
additional standing committee meetings as needed on Faith Formation, Marketing, Curriculum and Technology, Facilities,
Handbook, and Finance. There can be additional ad hoc committees as special issues arise such as web site design.
Committees can include interested parents besides School Committee members. There are openings for the School
Committee each spring as the members' terms are staggered.
Each member takes a turn as a liaison for one month during the school year to field any questions parents may have. The
names and phone numbers are also listed in the school handbook as well as the school directory. Feel free to contact
one of us.
