Parent & Community Involvement
Parent, guardian, and family engagement is important in supporting the success of our students. Accordingly, there are many ways for our families to get involved with our school.
Altona Parent & Community Leadership Team
The Altona Parent & Community Leadership Team’s purpose is to create a meaningful partnership between parents, our community and Altona staff and students. This group focuses on the following areas:
- Providing input and feedback to Altona administration regarding school level practices
- Brainstorming and exchanging ideas regarding the current and future vision of the school
- Strengthening community involvement (fundraising, networking, staff appreciation events, conference meals, etc)
What do we do?
- Support the Altona staff with supplies, meals, and help celebrate achievements with organized parties and recognition events
- Connect with the staff, parents, and students at Altona to strengthen involvement
We have committees that help with Hospitality, Staff Appreciation, Spirit Wear, Book Fair, Community Building & Outreach, Rattler Run & Raise Up, 8th grade celebration, Concessions, parent communication, and more!
