Community Council Call for Nominations

Dear Parents:
The Wasatch Community Council has a total of 12 members: seven parent or guardian members and five employee members, including the principal. They serve a two-year term with 50% of the people up for election each year. We would like to thank AnnMarie Howard, Kimberly House and Aaron Oyler for their service on the Wasatch Community Council. Four people from the current Wasatch Community Council will complete their final year of their two-year term: Emily Ensign, Rebecca Armond, Paul Caldarella, and RonNell Jones during the 2013-2014 school year. There are no term limits.

We are calling for the nomination of three parent/guardian members who would be willing to serve for the next two years beginning in July 1, 2013.

The responsibilities of the Community Council are as follows:
1. Develop the Wasatch School Improvement Plan.
2. Develop a School LAND Trust Plan that must be focused on the school’s most critical academic need to improve student achievement.
3. Assist in the development and implementation of staff development in cooperation with district professional development guidelines.
4. Develop a child routing plan for safe travel to school.
5. Advise and make recommendations to the principal regarding school programs.
6. Develop a literacy plan to support elementary reading achievement.
7. Become knowledgeable about school issues in order to build a positive bridge to the community.
8. Attend at least 80% of the monthly meetings held during the lunch hour September – May.
9. The above list of responsibilities is not intended to be all-inclusive. The Council may assist the principal in other areas.

If you or someone you know would like to be nominated for these positions, please contact the office by 12:00 noon Tuesday, May 14th. Voting will be held at Wasatch Elementary from May 15-17 if more than three people are nominated. Please come to the office to vote.
