Parent Council
What is the Parent Council?
If you are a parent at TCS, you’re a member of the Parent Council. Please plan to attend the meetings: October 11, December 6, February 7 and April 3. All meetings begin at 5:30 p.m.
Our Parent Council is new and our school is relying on interested volunteers to make it a success. It is important that everyone participate in the council, whether by attending meetings, being on a committee or running for office. The larger the council, the more representative of the school family it will be. NEW FAMILIES are welcome and encouraged to participate. This is an excellent way to get to know other families and participate in important school events
Officers
This year's officers are Joe Pennington (President), Dave Lob (Vice President), Elena Carrington (Treasurer), and Tracey Goering (Secretary) for the 07-08 school year.
