Parent/Citizen Involvement
District 7 parents are strongly urged to become active
participants in the educational process. Parents’ interest
in their children’s education and the level of cooperation
between home and school are key elements to success in
school. Volunteer opportunities, through the parent -
teacher organization or the building’s principal, are
virtually unlimited. The PTO’s make a valuable contribution
to the schools through their fund-raising and social
activities. Interested volunteers should call the individual
schools. The Citizens Advisory Council is an appointed
committee of laypersons whose function is to study various
issues and provide advice and recommendations to the Board
of Education. The CAC meets on the first Tuesday evening of
every month during the school year.
Parent Questions Regarding a Child's Education &
School-related activities
If parents have a question or concern about their child’s
progress in school or school-related activities, the FIRST
person to see is the TEACHER/SPONSOR/COACH. They are always
the best source of information regarding a child, for they
work with him/her on a daily basis and share parents’
concerns. One of the most valuable things parents can do for
their child’s education is to keep in close contact with
his/her teachers/sponsors/coaches.
If parents have further concerns or questions of a more
general nature, then they should call the school principal.
In District 7, building principals are looked upon as
instructional leaders. They are extremely knowledgeable
about their students and staff and are an excellent source
for assistance.
For specific questions, parents may call the following:
- Bus Routes & Information 655-6019
- Food Service (free/reduced program) 655-6050
- Special Education/Student Services 655-6016
- Elementary & Secondary Education 655-6021
The next “step” is the central office (Hadley House).
There are six offices in Hadley House: business, personnel,
information systems and services, instruction, special education/student services and the
superintendent’s office. Any of the five administrators in
these offices can assist parents with their question.
You may call Hadley House at 656-1182.
