Meetings: The School Advisory Board generally meets the second Monday of the each month in the Etue room at 6:30 p.m. Time is set aside at the beginning of each meeting for an Open Forum. Parents and parishioners are invited to attend the Open Forum, which is an opportunity for individuals to request discussion on  special topics. It works best if you contact the President in advance if you plan to attend the Open Forum about a specific issue.

Members: The members of the school advisory board include school parents, parishioners, the principal and pastor.  The school parent population nominates and elects 6 school-parent members and at least one member from the parish. Elections occur in the spring. The member‘s role is to represent the school parents and students and to serve as a communication link.
