Get Involved!<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Elementary childhood is a time of exploration and excitement. \u00a0You can make a positive impact on your child’s future by being involved!<\/strong>\u00a0 Whether you volunteer on a regular basis, can only help from home, or you are only available for one hour during the year, your time in supporting the school sets an example of citizenship and goodwill for your child. You are showing that part of being a good citizen is to give back by helping out when you can.\nDurham has many opportunities for families to get involved:<\/strong>\nSchool Committees:<\/strong>
\nSchool Site Council (SSC):<\/strong> This committee advises and approves the school’s expenditures and helps to make informed decisions for school improvements. \u00a0Meetings are monthly on the 4th Tuesday of the month from 3:20-4:20 pm. \u00a0We need 2 more parents for the 2024-25 year. \u00a0<\/strong>\n

English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC):\u00a0<\/strong>This committee advises school staff on programs and support for multi-lingual learners. The Durham ELAC committee sends one representative to the District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC). \u00a0Site ELAC meetings are held once a trimester. Meetings are monthly on the 4th Tuesday of the month from 3:20-4:20 pm in conjunction with SSC. \u00a0We are looking for at least 2 parents of multilingual learner students to join our ELAC for the 2024-25 year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Safety Committee:\u00a0<\/strong>This committee reviews, identifies, and problem-solves safety issues for the school. \u00a0In partnership with SSC, the Safety Committee also reviews, revises, and approves the school’s annual Safety Plan. Meetings are monthly on the 4th Tuesday of the month from 3:20-4:20 pm in conjunction with SSC. \u00a0We are looking for at least 2 more parents for the 2024-25 year<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n

School Events:<\/strong>
\nSchool events tend to be one-day volunteer opportunities that allow family members who work or have other commitments to be involved. \u00a0They provide a great way to be part of the Durham community, see your child and their peers, and work toward a meaningful goal.
\nDurham Eagles Fun Run:\u00a0<\/strong>This annual event serves as the school’s main fundraiser. \u00a0Students raise money through pledge donations and participate in running\/jogging\/walking as many laps around the field within the designated time. Volunteers are needed for:\n\n\n\n

Other Events & Activities:<\/strong>\u00a0 Room parent, field trips, shelving books, and prepping project materials are just a few other ways you can get involved!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nPTA Events:<\/strong>
\nThe Durham PTA is the supporting group of parents, students, and staff that help to strengthen the spirit of the Eagles community. \u00a0It is also the organization that provides fun, engaging opportunities and events for the school community. \u00a0PTA often hosts several events throughout the year. \u00a0One of these favorite events is Movie Night. PTA has its own governing body and holds meetings monthly which are open to families and staff. \u00a0Any Durham student, family, or staff member may join the PTA to support its efforts. \u00a0To join the Durham PTA, please click here<\/strong><\/a>.\n
