Northwest - School Council

The Northwest School Council is an advisory board that meets monthly during the school year and is composed of parents, community members, teachers and school administration. The main goals of the Council are to become familiar with general information pertinent to the school, review and analyze a wide range of school based performance data, collect survey results from our parent constituents, and establish a cohesive School Improvement Plan for the upcoming school year. The plan is composed of a mission and vision statement, goals, objectives, assessment components and a corresponding timeline. The plan is formally presented before the School Committee prior to the end of the school year, and is specifically designed to move the school forward in many ways, specifically in student achievement results.
