Did you know that MATES has a Parent Advisory Council (PAC)?

The PAC serves as an advisory board that is responsible for input/advice regarding Pupil Outcomes, Parental Involvement, and School Climate to the governing board, the Executive Director and Assistant Director. The PAC acts as a liaison between MATES Parents and the MATES Board.

The PAC is comprised of one parent from each grade level, one classified staff member, one certificated staff member, the Assistant Director and the Executive Director.
