What is the PAC?
Our mission is to make Crossroads Academy – Quality Hill a truly unique community.
Our PAC is made up of parents who volunteer their time and talents working on projects that build school community and encourage fun. If you are a parent of a Crossroads student, you are automatically a member of the Parent Action Committee, so we hope you choose to get involved. As parents, we play a vital role in building community by focusing on opportunities and activities that will:
- Promote school spirit and unity
- Support student activities
- Facilitate parent engagement throughout the school year
- Raise money to help fund new programs, school events, and other educational needs
- Provide a forum for parents to discuss issues of importance
Any funds raised benefit our children. Funds go toward all-school events:
- Back-to-school night potluck dinner
- Breakfast with buddies – a morning where kids and someone important in their life can eat breakfast together at school
- Spring Fling – a spring dance party where kids can have fun together
- Classroom needs like headsets, and any other needs identified by teachers and staff
When does the PAC meet?
The PAC meets the first Wednesday of the month at alternating times to accommodate different schedules. Please check the PAC Facebook page for each month’s meeting time.
