Dear Parents and Guardians,

​For those of you who are new to our school, welcome to our ‘Ohana. I am your Parent Community Network Center facilitator, also known as PCNC. My job as PCNC is to be the liaison between the school and you, parents/guardians.
 
Your involvement in our school is an extremely important part of your child’s success. The evidence about the positive impact of parent involvement on the outcome for children is so compelling. The support of parents in their children’s education plays an important role in their success not only in school but in life.
 
Parents aren’t just volunteering to help in the classrooms and/or fundraising; their helping to raise the academic achievement level of children at their schools. An added bonus is that children of involved parents tend to do better in school.
 
The majority of special events and fundraising campaigns are organized and implemented by volunteers who believe your child is worth the extra effort. Volunteering and helping at some of these programs and projects will give your child a more meaningful school experience and that should be motivation enough for anyone to share their time.
 
Everyone is good at something, which means everyone has something to offer. How can you apply your skills and passions to your child’s school?  I invite you to drop in one day and see all the great ways you can make a difference. My office is located upstairs in the two story building. Look for the cement ramp with railings. I look forward to seeing you all.
