During the meetings the Principal discusses opening of school, current events, Title I documentation, such as Parents Right to Know, PTO fundraisers (when applicable). Team members are asked to give feedback as well as to discuss with other MCES school parents. The Principal provides a meeting agenda and sign-in sheet.

parent representatives serve as a liaison between parents/family and district.
