Parent/Community Involvement with LJES

The following committees and organizations represent several important groups that make up the decision-making, fund raising, and community-support bodies at LJES. The rosters for this year’s boards are listed in the following sections.

Governance Team The goal of the Governance Team is to assist the principal in providing the best possible educational opportunities for the students to achieve their highest potential. Only issues pertaining to teaching and learning are discussed in this forum.

School Site Council (SSC)  SSC makes budgetary decisions on specific funding areas within the school budget that are state funded.

English Learner Advisory Council (ELAC)  This is a site group comprised of parents and staff working to promote academic excellence for this group of learners. One of the representatives of this site group attends the District English Learner Advisory Council (DELAC) each month.

Parent Teacher Association of LJES  The primary purpose of the PTA nationwide is to promote the welfare of children in the home, school and community. This year’s annual goals for LJES PTA are:

  • Provide support for the teachers and classroom during the instructional day.
  • Improve communications with staff and increase teacher involvement in PTA.
  • Continue and enhance cooperative efforts with GT, ELAC and Friends of LJES, Inc.
  • Continue efforts to improve community relations and awareness.
  • Increase parental involvement in PTA.

The PTA Executive Board meets monthly to organize and carry out the PTA objectives for the year. There are also regular general meetings at which expenses, student programs, and activities are approved as well as timely parent programs discussing issues related to our children’s education.
