Parent Advisory Council

J. W. Alvey Advisory Council

You are invited to join the Advisory Council at any time. The Advisory Council's decisions influence much of what happens at your school. This volunteer body made up of staff and parents provides input on the school budget, helps formulate the Annual School Plan, and solicits your opinions on the yearly school survey. Through the parent survey, you get a chance to be involved in this decision making process.

Alvey has a parent/teacher school advisory council that provides input to the principal on school continuous improvement and budget spending. This is a goal for our school improvement plan to increase participation.

  • All parents/teachers are welcome to participate and contribute to this committee.

  • Provide ideas and interests to EAC Committee Chair at least one week prior to monthlymeetings. Must follow advisory council By-Laws.
