 The Parent-Faculty Council is composed of 15 parents, three teachers, and the principal. All A.E. Phillips parents are given the opportunity to be elected to this council. Each grade level is represented. Parents serve three-year terms with four persons rotating off the committee each year. New members are elected in the fall by the parent body. Officers are elected by the Parent-Faculty Council. Teachers serve on an annual basis. Meetings are held at the request of the chairman, usually about once a month. The primary function of the Parent-faculty Council is to work cooperatively with the faculty in areas where there is a particular interest, concern, need, or request. Suggestions from parents and teachers are channeled through this group. Several parent-related activities are held each year. During the year, parents are given the an opportunity to meet the teachers, discuss the curriculum, and visit the classrooms. Parents may also participate in the numerous committees which are a part of the A.E. Phillips parent organization. Parent volunteers serve on various committees during the school year. Some of these committees are: teacher assistance, hospitality, Spring Fling Day, teacher appreciation, computer, and Box Tops. Parents are also members of our school renewal committees. Parents are appointed by Parent-Faculty Council to serve on the following committees: planning, climate, curriculum and instruction, staff development, and communication. These committees work to continuously improve the school through identifying needs, determining courses of action, and completing projects and activities. The work of these committees is evaluated annually by the faculty and is evaluated by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) every five years. |
