As part of our designation as a Community School in April 2016, we created a School-Based Leadership Team to guide implementation, community engagement, and
best practices. The Team were actively involved in the application process for SIG and how it would fit into the ongoing work of the community schools. The Team
meets monthly and the subcommittees meet as often as twice a week. Minutes from all meetings are posted on a bulletin board by the entrance of the school. We
also host community meetings and parent forums to continually engage parents and community partners on the work.
