Family Involvement
Parent Involvement
Research demonstrates that parent involvement is essential for student success. Although you may not become involved in all committees and support organizations in the school, we encourage the following activities for your parental support:
- Join the school parent/teacher association (PTSO) and participate in meetings and activities.
- Join the School Advisory Committee (SAC) to advise the principal and installation commander on policies and programs within its purview; foster communication among administrators, military leaders, parents, and students; and provide a coordinated process to address and resolve issues.
- Participate in the Continuous School Improvement (CSI) efforts at your child's school.
- Keep informed of school events and activities by reading school the school newsletter
- Attend the school open house and reach out via email to your student’s teachers to ask questions or provide support.
- Establish a dedicated homework space and daily study time at home.
- Ensure your child has a well-balanced breakfast and comes to school with completed homework, lunch money and school supplies.
- Monitor student work completion and grades through Aspen.
Visitors and Volunteers
There are many opportunities for eager parents and community members to get involved and become a DoWEA school volunteer. Volunteers can assist in a variety of ways such as classroom and library assistance, tutoring and mentoring, office administration, playground and lunchroom monitoring, event setup, fundraising, etc. For safety and security reasons, all volunteers are encouraged to leave under-age siblings at home during volunteering activities. Interested parties can refer to their local School Volunteer Coordinator for specific visitation and/or volunteer opportunities.

For the protection of students and staff, all visitors must report to the school’s front office immediately upon arriving at the school. A visitor is any person (to include parents, sponsors, and legal guardians) not enrolled or assigned to the school requesting entry to the building.
Visitors must provide authorized identification to gain access to the DoWEA school. The visitor will be issued a visitor badge that must be displayed above the waist while on DoWEA school property. The school administrator has the final determination on visitors authorized to be at the school. While on DoWEA school property, visitors may go only to the approved area indicated as their destination when signing in at the school’s front office. Any change to the designated location must be approved by the school’s front office before the visitor can access a different location within the school. When leaving the school, visitors must sign out and return the visitor's badge to the school’s front office.
Classroom Observations
Parents are welcome to visit the school and classrooms to observe the school’s programs for brief periods of time that do not interfere with instruction. Approval by the school administrator is required for this type of visitation.

Advisory Committees
The School Advisory Committee (SAC) and Installation Advisory Committee (IAC), composed of parents, teachers, and stakeholders, advise school administrators, Community Superintendents, and Installation Commanders on policies, procedures, and resources to enhance the educational environment. These committees hold open public meetings for parents to engage and learn more about the school.
Serving on a SAC or IAC is a rewarding responsibility that offers the opportunity to contribute to children's education actively. These committees provide advisory input on school policies, administrative procedures, and educational resources. At the same time, final decisions rest with the DoWEA school district superintendent.
To learn more about DoWEA Pacific Advisory Committees, please visit the DoWEA Pacific School Advisory Committees website.
