Parents Council

Learning does not end with the school day.  At LEAP Academy, our parents are counted on to continue student learning and to be and active partner in their child’s education.  Whether at home (studying or checking homework) or at the school (meeting with teachers and staff) LEAP parents maintain a visible presence in their children’s learning. 

In order to facilitate parent involvement at the school, LEAP Academy created a Parents Council.  The goals of the Parents Council are to:

• Uphold and follow the LEAP mission and vision;
• Engage parents in events and activities throughout the year;
• Fundraise for the Alfredo Santiago Scholarship Fund and other activities and initiatives within the school;
• Activate and train parent leaders to take on roles of headship; and
• Advocate and lobby for charter schools.

Monthly meetings are held at either school from 6–8pm when parents are given information on current school events and allowed to openly discuss school matters.  The Council also hosts parent training classes, which offer LEAP parents the opportunity to learn and ask questions about common parenting practices and issues they face with their families.
