2011-2012 Joliet Central Parent Club
The Principal’s Office is interested in improving student performance by working in partnership with students, staff, family and community.
School Improvement Goal: Every student will have a parent/guardian attend at least one event (Open House, Parent Club Meeting, athletic event, special program) at Joliet Central during 2011-2012.
Highlights from 2010-2011 Parent Club Meetings:
1. Held monthly educational topics of current events like financial aid, district finances, sophomore job shadowing, Brother2 Brother, and dual credit.
2. Provided input on parent involvement strategies for the Joliet Central School Improvement Plan (2010-2011).
3. Funded two parent club scholarships (2 @ $300).
4. Hosted an end of the year breakfast for all staff.
5. Provided monthly (and yearly) raffles (shirts, gift cards, hats, pens) for parents who attend parent club meetings.
6. Conducted parent survey and information sessions on Home Access Center so that parents can access student grades on a regular basis.
