Parent/Caregiver Groups

St. Cloud Area Schools is always trying to increase and improve home and school partnerships with parents. In the past couple of years, the district has implemented a Latino parent committee and an American Indian parent committee. The groups meet throughout the school year to collaborate on how both the home and school can increase achievement for students.

The Latino parents committee is co-facilitated by a community partner and the director of equity services and serves 15-20 parents.

The purpose of the Native American Parent Advisory Council (NAPAC) is to ensure parent participation in providing programs and services for Native American students. NAPAC is also instrumental in providing parents of Native American students with information and opportunities to effectively express their views concerning all aspects of education that affect their children. The committee also oversees the development and implementation of the educational plan as funded by Title VII Indian Education federal funds and Success for the Future. NAPAC membership is open to all caregivers, parents and guardians of Native American students and their families, including multi-ethnic/race.  Secondary Native American students are also welcome to join NAPAC. You do not have to be tribally enrolled.

Meetings are open to the public. Everyone is welcome! RSVP for the next meeting.
