• General Membership Meetings

     
    Meeting Responsibilities:

    Parents/guardians are required to attend eight Parent-Teacher-Student Association (PTSA), or School Advisory Council (SAC), each school year. 

     
    Please see the school calendar on the website for meeting dates/times. 
     
    PTSA meetings are held the first Monday of each month.  SAC meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month.
     
    � When circumstances arise, which make it impossible for a parent/guardian to attend a required meeting, a representative (18 years of age or older) may be sent.
    � The representative may not be a parent or teacher at the school and may represent only one family.
    � The representative may be sent to no more than two meetings per year.
    � If a parent must exercise this option, they must notify the principal prior to the meeting. It is the parent/guardian抯 responsibility to make the representative aware of all obligations.
    � Sign-in at meetings must be completed no later than 15 minutes after the scheduled start of the meeting as the sign-in cards are removed at that time. Meetings last approximately one hour (not to exceed 90 minutes) and parents are expected to be present for the entire meeting. Arriving late, leaving early, or failure of a parent/ guardian to sign in will result in the meeting being counted as unattended. Sign-in cards must be handed in by the individual who signed the card for that meeting.

    The procedure for unattended meetings is as follows:

    1. After one missed meeting, a reminder letter will be sent to the family.

    2. After two missed meetings, a letter will be sent placing the parent/family on probation. Once a family is placed on probation, a representative may not be sent to any meetings. The parent or legal guardian will be required to attend all remaining meetings.

    3. After the third missed meeting, the student/family will be referred to the school-based Intervention and Appeal Committee(IAC).

    All meetings are held on campus at Madeira Beach Fundamental.

    ***Please note: There may be meeting location, date or time changes over the school year. The school will make every effort to make families aware of these changes well in advance through the principal's telephone messages and our school website.


    IMPORTANT FACTS TO REMEMBER:

    As a requirement of the fundamental program, every parent/guardian must attend either a Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) OR School Advisory Committee (SAC) meeting monthly. MADEIRA BEACH FUNDAMENTAL HAS NO MAKE UP POLICY FOR MEETINGS.
     
    You must attend either a PTSA or SAC meeting each month for a total of eight meetings. Meetings last approximately one hour (not to exceed 90 minutes) and parents are expected to be present for the entire meeting. PTSA meetings will be held the first Monday of each month. SAC meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month.
