Parent Needed to Join School Leadership Team

Posted on by

The School Leadership Team (SLT) is a committee of school administrators, staff, and parents tasked with creating and evaluating EVCS curriculum and educational goals. The SLT writes and revises school policy, cooperatively plans the school year, and co-writes the Comprehensive Education Plan at the end of each year, among other projects.

As a member of the SLT, you help to evaluate the effectiveness of the school’s educational programs and their impact on student achievement. You also serve as a voice for the different members of our school community to ensure that all voices are heard regarding the needs of our students. You help to shape the educational goals of our school, and are responsible for communicating SLT business to the entire parent body.

If you are interested in what our children learn in the classroom, serving on the SLT may be the most impactful thing you can do at EVCS.

The SLT meets on the last Thursday of every month from 3:30-5:30pm. All discussions within the SLT are confidential. There is a small stipend of $200 from the DOE for serving on the SLT.
