School Council
As mandated by the Massachusetts Education Reform Act (June, 1993) Proctor School established a School Council that is a representative, school building based committee composed of an equal number of parents and staff. The Council is an advisory body to the principal and its purpose is to assist the principal in reviewing the school building budget, in developing a school improvement plan, and in identifying educational needs and goals for our students at Proctor School. The Council meets one morning at 8 AM each month from 8:00-8:45. Our first meeting will be held on October 27. Subsequent meetings will be held on the following dates: November 24, January 26, February 23, March 29, April 26 and May 24.
The TESPTO (Topsfield Elementary Schools Parent Teacher Organization) is facilitating the election process for new Council members for the Proctor School this year. They are responsible for handling all aspects of the election process, including the acceptance of nominations as well as the distribution, collection, and counting of the ballots.
If you were a member of School Council for the 2014-2015 school year, and are still interested, please contact Helen or Susan in the main office. We may have vacancies here at Proctor School for Council representation. If you feel you are able to share your time and energy in this capacity, please submit a short paragraph to TESPTO to place your name in nomination. Please be assured that the only criterion for eligibility is a love of children and a willingness to serve! State your desire to serve, any life experiences that may support Council work, and the number of years you are willing to serve (one or two). Please deliver it or email to the school office (soleary@topsfieldps.org) by October 13 .
