PLEASE NOTE:

Parents make a huge difference in the lives of our students through their involvement with their child’s education at home and at school. We are fortunate to have a supportive Parent’s Advisory Committee that does much to support student learning in our school. For example, this year the PAC has elected to support the purchase of 12 Alpha Smart Keyboards to support our Adapted Learning Program, a Marine Biology Field Trip involving over 40 senior students to Bamfield, Scuba Diving and Car Club maintenance costs, as well as funding two student excursions to Honduras. Parents also volunteer to help support our many teams, activities and dry grad. We want to thank parents for the great feedback we receive, and their support of our school.

Mission Public Schools District Parent Advisory Council:

Our District PAC provides parents with information and advises our educational partners of parent concerns. We encourage and provide parent representation on District committees.

Why Should You Become More Involved?

Parent involvement in education is widely recognized as a vital component to successful students and successful schools. Research shows that when parents are involved:

Students achieve more. The more parent involvement, the better the student achievement.
Students have higher grades and test scores, better attendance, and complete homework more consistently.
Students exhibit more positive attitudes and behavior.
Students have higher graduation rates and greater enrollment rates in post-secondary education.
Negative student behavior, such as alcohol use, violence, anti-social behavior decreases.
Students make better transitions to secondary school, and are less likely to drop out.
