Meeting Times: 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.

Meeting schedule is posted on the ERES Website - ERESCC tab / Meeting Schedule

What is the SCC? It is a group of parents and teachers working together to support and enrich our students at ERES. Our mission is to provide the school with funds, programs, resources and services that will maximize the education of every child, benefit the school, and facilitate parent and community engagement.

How you can get Involved

All parents are members of the Council and are welcome to attend meetings and / or participate in volunteer activities. This is an excellent way to contribute to the school (community); learn about Emerald Ridge Elementary School; and meet teachers, administrators and other parents. The Council is comprised of a group of voluntary board members. Your attendance at a meeting does not imply future voluntary commitments. Click here for additional information about the SCC.
