Leisure Service,Boys and Girls Club,Brownies,etc.) they are responsible to notify parentstguardians. This is not the school's responsibility. Also, it is the parent/guardian's responsibility to notify the school of the student's alternate dismissal plans for that day. PTO Our Coombs School Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) exists to enhance the educational experience of the students and to provide a forum for open communication between school and home. Evening meetings are held monthly during the year. Parents and school staff explore how best to support one another and to help students achieve educational goals that include social, emotional and academic development. All parents are encouraged to join and take an active role in our PTO. Please remember, you may join any time throughout the year or if you can make a few meetings but not all that is fine. We'd love to have you there. Monthly family functions are planned throughout the school year. They are family events which are great fun. Just a reminder: children should be with adult family members and should not be left unattended. SCHOOL COUNCIL School Council is a body comprised of parents/guardians, staff members, the building principal and community representative(s). Please consider running for School Council. The group meets once a month for approximately one and one-half hours to two hours. Responsibilities include implementation of a School Improvement Plan, overseeing the budget with the building principal, and other matters for school discussion. These positions are through election for parents/guardians and staff members by law. Community representatives are appointed by the building principal per School Council regulations. Fliers will go home during the first month of school soliciting nominees for the Council when openings are available. Did you know that these are publicized meetings and the first twenty minutes are for Open Forum? If you have concerns to be taken under advisement by the Council, please attend Open Forum. PUBLIC MEETINGS There are several public meetings, which include the Selectmen's meeting (usually held twice a month on Mondays), the School Committee meetings (generally held on the first and third Wednesday of each month), and the Finance Committee meeting (once a month on a Tuesday). School Committee meetings are generally listed on our monthly school calendar, as well as televised on CH.22. The other meetings are listed in the Mashpee Enterprise and are televised on CH. 22. All are welcomed to attend these public meetings. 48
