Opportunities for Parental Involvement
Parent involvement and communication are essential to our school success. Willow Glen Elementary School continually strives to involve parents by sharing information that helps parents understand and support school programs and by providing opportunities for parent participation in school activities.

There are numerous and varied opportunities for parent involvement, including but not limited to, attending school functions, participating in parent-teacher conferences, volunteering in classrooms, and chaperoning field trips. Parents may also serve on advisory committees and leadership teams, including, but not limited to, the English Learners Advisory Committee (ELAC), School Safety Committee, and School Site Council (SSC) and PTA. Additional opportunities for parental involvement also exist at the district level.

Parents who would like more information on how to become involved may contact Principal Blanca Martinez-Ramirez at (559) 730-7798.
