The Education Commission is a group of parishioners, elected by their fellow parishioners, who represent both the parents of school children and the parish at large.  The Commission acts in an advisory capacity to the Pastor and the administrators of St. Margaret of York Parish School on matters pertaining to the planning and operation of the school.  The Education Commission provides counsel, evaluation and recommendations on issues and needs facing the St. Margaret of York Parish School.  

The Commission meets monthly with the School Administrators and the Pastor, along with representatives from the faculty, Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) and Pastoral Council.  Education Commission meetings are held the second Monday of each month, August through May.  These meetings are open to interested parishioners and parents of St. Margaret of York Parish School children. 

Contact information:  Because of the varied needs of the school community, we often seek additional volunteers to assist with committee work. Committees meet as needed throughout the school year. Please contact a member of the Education Commission to offer your strengths to our mission.

 

To assist in communication with the parent community, the Education Commission has appointed three members to serve as parent liaisons.  Their role is to assist in communication between students, parents, faculty, and administration.  They serve as a point of contact for all parents with children in the grades represented, available to answer questions or address concerns for parents.  The liaisons may also present general opinions and concerns of the overall parent community to the Education Commission.  In addition, since the parent liaisons serve on the commission’s Internal Communications Committee, they may assist school administration in communicating major changes in programs and policies to parents.  The liaisons are available as an additional resource, however it is encouraged that your first line of communication be with faculty and the administrative staff as questions or concerns arise.
