Home/School Committee (HSC)

Green Woods Charter School appreciates and values the role that our parents play in supporting the social, emotional and academic success of our students. To effectively build the parent voice in our school, the Board of Trustees directed the establishment of a Home/School Committee.

The purpose for establishing a viable HSC is threefold: to help the Board and SLT discuss and identify "school creation" issues, that is, things that Green Woods has never done before or that Green Woods may need to redefine in order to reflect our mission and vision; to build open and honest communication between home and school, and to help organize, advertise, and carry out school/community events including rallying our parent volunteers to support this year's Fun Day! An additional responsibility of the HSC is to host Town Meetings during the school year.

The HSC invites all Green Woods parents to be a part of this important committee. Obligations include:

• a commitment to supporting the needs of GWCS and this committee;

• a strong desire for teamwork and collaboration in support of the mission and vision of GWCS;

• and, the willingness to share ideas, listen to all stakeholders, and to work alongside the SLT, teaching staff, parents, and our board of trustees to create an inclusive and supportive home/school network.

The HSC is guided by a Collaborative Leadership Team made up of three Green Woods parents: Melanie Dudek, Gail Craighead and Laura Schwingel-Sauer.

If you would like to volunteer your time to help support the Home/School Committee, please join the HSC at our next Home School Committee Meeting. Look for date and time on the website or leave a message for the HSC at (215) 482-6337 or email us at hsc@greenwoodscharter.org.
