About SFIS

The Parent Advisory Council (PAC) supports and serves in a liaison capacity to the Superintendent and the Board of Trustees. The PAC sponsors various activities on campus, and is a valuable resource and support network for both day and residential parents.
The objectives of the PAC are:
-
To support SFIS strategic initiatives and parent activities associated with the continuous school improvement process.

To provide feedback regarding the operations of SFIS from the perspective of parents.
-
To create opportunities for parents to meet regionally.
-
To serve as role models for the SFIS school community.
