Its the start of a new year - let's help the schools by taking a school calendar survey and attending CARE meetings

Let's get 2015 started on the right track - become involved with the Area schools.  You do not need to have a child in school to be concerned with the success of our schools and participate in school related activities.  School scores impact home prices and sales,  business recruitment to our area, jobs and families. 

What can you do?  You can start in January with two things that do not take a lot of time and effort:  1)  participate in a very short school survey regarding the 2016-2017 school calendar and 2)  attend the first CARE meeting of 2015. 

What is CARE?   CARE is the acronym for 'Citizens Advocating a Return for Excellence' for our schools.   The CARE meetings are for parents and others interested in our schools.  They allow you to voice your concerns, comments, and/or ask questions.  So attend the Thursday, January 15th CARE meeting.  Start time is 6:30 pm and will be held at the Hueytown Elementary School Cafeteria.
