LSC Members

Parent, community, teacher and non-teaching staff representatives serve a two-year term beginning July 1 after each election and ending June 30 two years later. (This year the term has been extended until the end of December due to COVID-19 closures.)  The most recent election was held in the spring of 2018; the current LSC Members’ terms will expire in January 2020.

Meeting Schedule

All meetings are held in the school library. Please see below or the school calendar on the home page for any updates to meeting times or dates.  We seek to make meetings as accessible to parents/caregivers as possible and thus stagger meetings times to accommodate various schedules.
