Parent and Family Engagement

• PTO: We are starting back up our PTO this year…stay tuned for additional information. The Parent/Teacher Organization’s mission is to support the educational programs that go on in the school and to keep the parents informed of pressing issues in the community that might affect our school. Fundraisers are a means to provide extra programs within the school for students. Because of the generous support of the parents, guardians, staff, and friends, we are able to fund many programs for our students.
• SAC: School Advisory Council is a committee made up of parents, community members and faculty. This council oversees the School Improvement Plan. Members provide input for continuous school improvement. Meetings are held monthly.
• Community Partners: We invite community businesses to become involved. Businesses provide incentives and services to our school. We recognize partners through newsletters, events, and verbal recognition.
• Volunteers: Parents and community members are invited to work in our school. After proper screening, you are invited to assist teachers, mentor students or help out in various places on our school campus. Apply to become a volunteer at https://www.stlucie.k12.fl.us/our-district/volunteers/.

The Federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act states that children and youth who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence are considered homeless. If, due to a loss of housing, a child must live in a shelter, motel, vehicle, or campground, on the street, in abandoned buildings, or doubled-up with relatives or friends, then he/she is eligible to receive services provided under the McKinney-Vento Act. The McKinney-Vento Education for Homeless Children and Youth Program is designed to address the problems that homeless children and youth have faced in enrolling, attending, and succeeding in school. Under this program, state educational agencies must ensure that each homeless child and youth has equal access to the same free, appropriate public education, including a public preschool education, as other children and youth.
