Nominations for the 2016-2017 Murch Home and School Association (HSA) Executive Board and Local School Advisory Team (LSAT) will begin soon. We will have a number of open positions and welcome your interest.
The HSA serves to support and expand the educational mission of Murch. The HSA facilitates parent participation at the school and provides opportunities for parents to be meaningfully involved in their child’s education. This is accomplished, in part, by raising funds through member contributions and other activities, preparing an annual budget to spend the funds, and facilitating key communications of activities and other projects. Parents elected to the board are expected to be active members of the HSA by attending monthly meetings during the school year, spearheading projects, and engaging in activities that serve to connect parents to the school.
The LSAT is an elected panel of Murch staff, parents, and community members that advises the principal on matters of school policy. The LSAT prepares a detailed school plan each spring as part of the DCPS budgeting process. This plan identifies current needs at Murch and sets long-term goals for achievement, teacher satisfaction and excellence, discipline, and school environment.
Please consider getting involved!
Sincerely,
The 2016-2017 Nominating Committee
