Hello, DWE Families and Community,
Each of our Vail Schools has a “Site Based Council.” The purpose of this council is to operate as a principal’s advisory committee. Our DWE site council consists of the following elected members: four parents/community members, two certified faculty members, and one classified support staff member. Each elected member serves a two-year term.
Our Site Council meetings are held monthly in the CAVE Conference Room beginning at 4pm and generally ending around 5:30pm. The 24/25 meeting dates are: August 19th, September 17th, October 21st, November 18th, December 16th, January 27th, February 24th, April 28th, and May 12th.
The monthly meetings are formal and follow a specific agenda. Some topics that are covered include staffing, enrollment, goal setting, PBIS and discipline data, etc. Involvement in Site Council is a great way to be involved and to build relationships with other DWE community members.
For the 24/25 school year we have two open parent/community member seats. If you would like to make a nomination for yourself or a fellow DWE community member, please submit the nominee’s name, contact information, and brief bio (3-4 sentences) via email to all three of the following email addresses:
ForgacsK@vailschooldistrict.org
MooreAma@vailschooldistrict.org
OwensLa@vailschooldistrict.org
Nominations can be submitted now through Tuesday, July 16th at 5pm. If we receive more than two nominations we will conduct an electronic vote.
Please reach out if you have any questions about the Desert Willow Site Council. I’d also be happy to chat with you about it at this week’s Open House (Thursday, July 11th, 5:30-7:00pm).
With gratitude,
Kendra Forgacs, M.Ed.
