Especially for Parents

Middle School Parents' Advisory Committee

Middle School Parents’ Advisory Committee (PAC) is a dynamic, ever-evolving organization that facilitates productive parental involvement in the Webb Middle School community. It serves as the liaison between Middle School parents and the school administration. Every Middle School parent is a member of Middle School PAC and is welcomed and encouraged to participate.

As a manifestation of the diverse needs of our community, Middle School PAC has developed a range of different programs and functions. Most importantly, it serves as a catalyst for building enduring, healthy relationships among parents, faculty/administration, and students. It offers parent education programs and discussion groups, focusing on key developmental issues facing our children during these crucial middle school years. It serves as the coordinator of parent volunteerism and plans a wide range of social and educational activities for students, faculty, and parents; all of which foster and strengthen the sense of community within our school. Finally, through monthly meetings, it provides a vital forum for ongoing conversations between administration and parents on current school-related issues.

During the academic year, Middle School PAC usually meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 9:00 a.m. in the Central Building’s Multipurpose Room. All parents are encouraged to attend these monthly meetings. When possible, a virtual option, in addition to the in-person meeting, is made available To better accommodate diverse schedules, meetings are usually structured to begin with timely presentations from school administration/faculty, lasting approximately 30 minutes; a standard business meeting follows.

Specific announcements of meetings and other important PAC events are placed on the school’s website and its online parent community.

Middle School PAC is led by a board of over 50 volunteers, including officers, heads of special committees, and parent representatives from each of the Middle School advisory classes. Grade-level committees led by a lead representative facilitate communications, social events, activities, and programs for each grade.
