Welcome to the School Advisory Council (SAC) page. Here you will find the latest news coming from the SAC as well as information on how to contact the SAC.

The following letter from Ellecia Douglas, Chair of the SAC, was sent to parents via a NewsFlash on May 2, 2008.

The School Advisory Council (SAC) is hard at work to determine how best to function as an entity based on our role as defined by our Charter and mission statement.

The SAC mission is as follows:

The School Advisory Council (SAC) is a group of parents, school leaders, teachers and community members working together to give parents a voice in the operations of the school. Our function is to provide advice to the school leadership, surface compliments and concerns from parents, and communicate with and mobilize the school community. We will also make recommendations and/or provide key information to the Governing Board of Managers.

Our primary areas of focus are: volunteer needs, issues regarding the educational program, and/or the school atmosphere and culture. We will also provide the school's leadership with advice on fundraising for the school.

SAC Mailbox: Provide Your Feedback

If you have questions, concerns, or comments that you would like the administration or Governing Board of Managers to address, please contact us at schooladvisorycouncil@iamableton.org. The SAC mailbox has been created as a communication vehicle specifically for parents to voice their questions, issues and concerns and to establish an efficient communication channel between the school administration, the parents and The Governing Board.

Town Hall Meeting Planned

The SAC will host a "Town Hall" meeting in June. The focus of this meeting will be to provide answers to the top issues/concerns regarding Imagine IAM that we receive from parents via the SAC mailbox mentioned above. While we would like to address all concerns, we will have to address only the top issues due to time and resource constraints. However, we will try to have members of the school administration on hand before or after the meeting for one-on-one Q & A sessions.

Please stay tuned for a "Save the Date" notification that will contain specific details about the meeting (i.e. date, time and location of the meeting) along with a deadline for question/issue submission.

The members of the SAC desire to serve our parents, our teachers, and the Imagine IAM community as a whole in order to continue mobilizing and shifting to excellence. If you are interested in joining the SAC, please e-mail schooladvisorycouncil@iamableton.org.

We appreciate your continued support of Imagine IAM and look forward to seeing you in June.

Ellecia Douglas, School Advisory Council Chair
