On behalf of Dr. Shaver, Superintendent of Schools, we appreciate the parents from all schools who participated in the Fall Virtual Parent Advisory Committee last night. Your feedback is essential, as your insights and recommendations contribute to our ongoing efforts to enhance the overall quality of education provided to all students.
Part of the feedback last night had to do with this particular opportunity for parents to participate in this virtual forum and how they wished it had been more widely advertised. From this feedback, Dr. Shaver is scheduling a second opportunity to host this Parent Advisory Meeting this coming Monday, October 27th at 6:30pm.
Ahead of the meeting, all interested parents need to download the ZOOM application on the device they are planning to use for this event.

The meeting ZOOM link will be emailed to those who registered in the morning on Monday, October 27th. Come join us and get involved with our school system!
Dr. Shaver hosts a Virtual Superintendent's Parent Advisory Committee twice a year to share important information and also to get feedback from all of you. While each school campus has a number of parents who are part of this committee, she would like to open this invitation to ANY parent/guardian at either school campus who is interested in joining as well. Your input is always highly appreciated!
The Fall virtual convening of this parent advisory committee is this Monday, October 20th starting at 6:30pm. if you are interested in attending, please email Mr. Morales at jmorales@hyde.k12.nc.us and share your name, school your child is enrolled at, and your phone and email.
