<h1>Parent Leadership Council<br /></h1> <p>At EECS we recognize that parents are the most important educators of our children. Parents teach children about the world, how to learn and grow. We encourage all parents to be involved with school activities, homework and the day-to-day experience of their children at EECS.</p> <p>Research indicates that children whose parents are actively involved in their education are more likely to demonstrate positive academic outcomes. Parental involvement is linked to higher grades, improvements in school behavior, lower school absenteeism and more positive attitudes toward school.</p> <p>Parents who would like to get more involved are encouraged to join the Parent Leadership Council (PLC).&nbsp; The PLC meets once every month at the school to discuss issues, plan fundraising activities, hold special workshops and provide information about the activities at the school. The PLC is open to all parents of EECS students.</p> <div> <div> <p><a href="../../../system/attachments/396/original/11-10_Minutes-1.doc?1259014086">Click here</a> to download the minutes from the last PLC meeting.</p> </div> </div> <h3>Remember, parents: Your attendance is important.
