Attend, and when necessary, vote at monthly meetings

Timeline for 2018-2019 Site Council Elections:

On Monday, August 20: Parents will be notified via email of three parent members needed for AJHS SSC and the application process.
By Thursday, August 23, interested parents please submit a 200-word or less biography describing your qualifications. Send biographies to Principal Rich Moran at rich_moran@pvusd.net titled “SSC Biography.” Please CC office manager, Deann Najera at deann_najera@pvusd.net
There are three seats open. We completely understand that some parents have no desire to "run" for election if there are more than three candidates, but are equally willing to serve the school if there are confirmed vacancies. Please indicate if you wish to run for election or if you would prefer to have your Bio withdrawn if there are more than three candidates. In other words, we want all the involvement we can possibly get, but if you would prefer NOT to run against other parent members for an open seat, please let us know with your Bio submission (and please do come to the meetings to participate regardless!).
Wednesday, August 29th from 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.: Ballots that include Candidate Biographies will be emailed to all families and distributed at Back to School Night.
Parents please vote for ONLY THREE Site Council representatives using the Google Form ballot to be sent on August 29.
You must submit your vote by August 31 at 2:55 p.m.
By Tuesday, September 4th: Elected members will be notified by phone so they can prepare to attend the first AJHS SSC Meeting on Tuesday, September 25th at 5:15 p.m. in room 2.
- *Meeting days and times on the AJHS Website Calendar are subject to change according to the needs of the new School Site Council and in an effort to align with other Aptos/PVUSD schools and the AJHS Home and School Club. Meetings are almost always held on the fourth Tuesday of the month and the public is always welcome.
