Honor societies include Beta Club and National Honor Society. There are numerous and varied opportunities for parents and community organizations to participate in the educational system. Parental involvement is encouraged and actively pursued at all levels - elementary, middle and secondary. Some parents go beyond membership in traditional parent-teacher organizations by seeking election as parent representatives, serving as liaisons between parents and school administration officials. Workshops and inservice training keep volunteers up to date in their skills.
Every school has a team consisting of parents, school staff, students and community members.
Parent, staff and student representatives are selected for two-year terms. Skill training and information sessions are provided to Council members to support them in this role. Parent Initiated Projects - Parent groups or community organizations operate extended day programs at several elementary schools throughout the district. Parents and community agencies secure funding and administer these licensed programs independent of the schools. Parents and community have raised the necessary funds locally to keep RIF viable, despite federal cutbacks.
