\nThe PTO plans family-oriented activities and fundraising events during the year that include:<\/p>\n

Fall Fundraiser, Father-Daughter Sweetheart Dance, Mother-Son Social, Teacher Appreciation Luncheon, Back-to-School Breakfast, and 5th Grade Picnic and more. They collect Box Tops for Education to raise funds that are donated back to the school.<\/p>\n

We encourage you to join this dynamic group and support our school.<\/p>\n

School Advisory Councils (SAC)<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

SAC meets monthly on the second Tuesday of each month at 3:45PM in the school media center.<\/b><\/p>\n

The School Advisory Council (SAC) is a team of people representing various segments of the community\u2013parents, teachers, students, administrators, support staff, business\/ industry people and other interested community members. The purpose of a SAC is to assist in the preparation and evaluation (developing and evaluating) of the results of the school improvement plan and to assist the principal with the annual school budget. Additionally, SAC receives funds \u201cto be used at the discretion of the School Advisory Committee. A portion of the money should be used for implementing the school improvement plan.\u201d  \u201cThe improvement plan shall include performance indicators which are measurable.\u201d  \u201cFunding for use by the School Advisory Councils should be allocated directly to the School Advisory Councils, should be clearly earmarked for their use and is not subject to override by the Principal or interim approvals by school district staff. These moneys may be expended only on programs or projects selected by the school advisory council.  These moneys may not be used for capital improvements.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each school in the State of Florida must have a SAC.  By law, each SAC must be composed of the principal and an \u201cappropriately balanced\u201d number of \u201cstakeholders.\u201d These individuals must be representative of the ethnic, racial and economic makeup of the community served by the school. The majority of SAC members (over 50 percent) must not be employed by the SCHOOL DISTRICT<\/em> on whose SAC they serve.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole point of school improvement is data-driven decision making. The process is SUPPOSED to be fairly simple and straight forward: The SAC reviews relevant data (which is much more than test scores), identifies problem areas, develops improvement strategies, monitors their implementation, and then starts the whole process over when the next round of data is available.\u201d \u2014 KM, DOE<\/p>\n
