We are a group of Silver Mesa parents who want what is best for our school staff, teachers and students. We believe this can be achieved through a PTO. The district has a policy allowing parents a vote. We first must complete a Notice of Intent and petition and then we will be allowed a vote. This blog will help educate, inform and unite through this process. Keep updated on what is going on here. UPDATE: You should have received a ballot in the mail. If you didn't and want to vote, contact the district. We encourage everyone to study both organizations and vote for the group they believe best represents their ideals.

Our Two Cents

This letter was sent in response to the policy the district is writing. We look forward to what the future will bring. To read the policy click HERE
 
To: the Policy Committee, Superintendent Briscoe, Daniel Harper, Jeff Christensen, and Board Members
 
We have been following this process closely.  From the beginning, our goals have been the following:
 
To have a choice about which parent organization is best for our school.  
To educate the school community (with full support of the school) about the differences/similarities between parent organizations.  In order to do this, we must be granted the same avenues of communication as the current parent organization.  All parents in the school community should be given equal opportunity to know what is going on.
To empower parents to get involved in their school by choosing which parent organization would best fit their school and benefit their children, and then to support their choice through volunteerism.
