Sangster Parent Advisory Council (PAC)
For those parents new to Sangster Elementary, the "Parent Advisory Council" or PAC is a group of parents that meet once a month to discuss school issues, liaise between parents and teaching staff, coordinate special events, provide hot lunch days for students and help raise funds to enhance our children's education (new computers, sports equipment, earthquake preparedness, etc.).
As a parent , you are automatically a PAC member and are free to attend all meetings. The meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month in the school library at 6:30 p.m.
