PARENT INVOLVEMENT -- APP PARENT GROUPS

APP has two parent organizations that always welcome volunteers:

APP TASK FORCE The APP Task Force was commissioned to study and make recommendations on policies relating to the program. Task Force is made up of parents, teachers, District staff, and principals. Task Force meets monthly, usually on the third Thursday of the month at 7 p.m. Meetings rotate between Lowell, Washington Middle School, and Garfield. For more information, please email Task Force Chair Jane Fellner (see APP Parents Group Contacts in left column).

For latest Task Force minutes, please see top left of page.

APP PARENT GROUP

This is a working group of volunteers that provides program support, sponsors general parent meetings, publishes the APP Newsletter, and organizes the new family orientation (tours and summer picnic). Parent Group meetings, usually on the first Saturday of the month, provide an informal forum for discussion of issues affecting APP. For more information, please email Steering Committee Chair Courtney Jelaco (see APP Parents Group Contacts in left column).

VOLUNTEERS AT SCHOOL ALWAYS WELCOME

In addition to the above groups you can join, there are many other ways to support the program and learn what is going on at school. A great way to join in the activity is to volunteer in your child's school and classrooms. Ask teachers how you can help -- from making phone calls, to driving on field trips, to offering enrichment experiences.
