School Family Community Team ("SFC Team")  

SFC TEAM MISSION

To create, strengthen and maintain a better school and a better educational experience for our chilren through the collaborative effort of parents, teachers and administrators.

WHO IS THE SFC TEAM?

THE SFC TEAM is comprised of Salem Academy's parents, guardians, administrators and staff, who are dedicated to developing and maintaining the best educational environment and learing opportunities for our children.  Through volunteering time and skills, the SFC Team is able to:

     * Support our teachers and administrators in a

        social and financial sense as they promote the

        best educational, moral, intellectual, and

        physical programs for the students.

     * Render financial support to the school by

        organizing fundraising events and programs.

     * Develop a vibrant community of parents,

        teachers, administrators and students by

        encouraging volunteerism and community

        building.

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE in your child's education by becoming an active member of the SFC Team.  It is a wonderful way to discover what is happening at Salem Academy.  Plus, you will enjoy getting to know other parents and the Salem Academy Community.  Membership is free.  In fact, you are already a member as a parent or guardian of a child attending Salem Academy! 

WE NEED EVERYONE to become an active member of the SFC Team and assist in our events & activities.  Whether you enjoy working with the children, organizing or helping at events, working on important social issues, are handy with a hammer or a computer, or just have time for the occasional phone calling, there is something for everyone!

DID YOU KNOW that there have been more than 500 independent research studies about parent involvement?  The results are startling!  When parents get involved in their children's education, grades and test scores go up, children become more likely to pass, have fewer discipline problems and attend better schools after high school. 

SFC TEAM MEETINGS are held once a month.  Please check out the weekly newsletter to confirm the next meeting.  Salem Academy and the SFC Team will benefit from hearing your ideas, and you will become better informed about all the past and upcoming events at the school. If you are unable to attend this month's meeting, please feel free to provide your ideas, thoughts and suggestions through the Suggestion Box or by contacting one of the SFC Team's co-moderators directly:
