Parent
Council

Parent
Council is a group with one or more representatives from each
school that meets once a month and shares ideas, attends Scottsdale
Superintendent bag lunch meetings, and deals with issues which
concern our children’s education. This is not a decision-making
council, but a group of parents that report back to their respective
schools with news about other schools (and maybe new ideas for
ours), news about the district, and any other information with
regards to our children’s education.
