Our focus this year is to continue to bring the community of Jennie Elliott together and truly be a “Community That Cares”. If you want to stay informed and have a voice in the school planning, come join us for our council meetings. You will be sure to learn a lot, make some new friends and make a difference in your children’s school environment.  

We often get asked, what is discussed at these meetings? Here is a highlighted list of what a common agenda would look like:
