Parent and Community Involvement

Building Accountability Committee (BAC)

A Building Accountability Committee will assist in the planning/accountability process of the district.  The focus of these efforts is to produce a quality educational program for each student in the school.  Parents are encouraged to participate.

Colorado’s Accountability/Accreditation program is unique in the nation because it enhances control by allowing the local district to determine its own goals, priorities, plans, evaluation procedures, and expectations for quality educational programs in a partnership arrangement with the state.

Under Colorado accreditation regulations, each administrative unit must develop action plans for school improvement based upon both district priorities and priorities unique to the individual buildings.

Each building also has parent representation on the District’s Accountability Committee.

BAC/PTO Dates

All parents are automatic members of the Sherman Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) and are encouraged to participate in the monthly meetings.  Notice of meeting time and date will be sent home as a reminder each month.

The BAC and PTO meet together and operate jointly.

Classroom Visitation
Parents and other significant adults are encouraged to visit their child’s class.  Teachers appreciate knowing in advance if you are planning to visit the classroom.  As a safety precaution, each school visitor is asked to sign in at the office and pick up a school visitor’s pass to identify you as a welcome guest.  After the visit, you will return to the office, return the pass, and sign out.

Parents/Teacher Conferences
Parent/Teacher conferences are held twice yearly and follow the schedule of the school district calendar.  One conference is in the fall and one is in the spring.  This time allows parents and teachers to discuss the progress of the child.

Volunteer Responsibilities
Parents are encouraged to volunteer, beginning in the middle of October.  This time between the beginning of school and when parents begin to volunteer allows the child to get to know the preschool staff and the rules and expectations.  Volunteers will be required to pass a background check.  Volunteers may be asked to help prepare future activities and interact and/or supervise a certain area within the classroom.  All volunteers must sign in at the office and receive a visitor’s badge.
