Utilization of parent input is offered through a number of forums including site and community booster organization groups to ensure a diverse representation. These groups allow for on-going dialogue to take place between school staff and parents. These groups include all of the following below.

 

 

 

School Assessment and Review Team (SART):  meets quarterly during the school year to assess and review effectiveness of policies, procedures, programs and curriculum/textbook adoption which are in place or proposed at Garfield Elementary School.  In March, CUSD conducts the annual SART Survey.  This survey solicits parent opinion on curricular, co-curricular, technology, and other issues facing the District.  SART shares the compiled results of the survey with the community. 

For more information contact Nancy Sternfels, Garfield Office Manager, at 327-6800.

 

 School Site Council (SSC):  meets quarterly with administrative, teacher, and parent representatives to review and adopt the school site plan and grant final approval on all categorical budgets.  The SSC appoints a member as the District Advisory Committee (DAC) Representative each year.
