Parent Coordinator
Parent Resource Coordinator
Dean Melissa Tales
The Parent Coordinator is part of the administrative team that works for the school. The Parent Coordinator works closely with school staff, the parent association, CAACS families, and the parent advisory council to engage our CAACS families and involve them in the school community. She is charged with identifying issues of concern to families and working with school leaders to ensure that these issues are addressed in a professional and timely manner.
The Parent Coordinator also helps parents understand the educational process and is available during regular school hours, and after school. The goal of the position of Parent Coordinator is to work interactively between the school and parent community fostering a partnership that leads to academic success for our children. The Parent Coordinator is responsible for encouraging and promoting active involvement by the families in their children's education and making school more welcoming to the families. In addition to the Principal and the staff, the Parent Coordinator is an important point of contact for families of the school. Unlike parent volunteers working in a school, the Parent Coordinator is on staff and can work within the school to direct the families to the appropriate places where they can find the information they are seeking.
