HMS School Council - Grade 6 Parent Representative

At this time, we are seeking a Grade 6 parent to be part of the Hopkinton Middle School Council. School Council terms run for three years or until you are no longer able to fulfill the role, whichever is sooner.

School Council is a “representative, school-based committee composed of the principal, parents, teachers, community members and, at the secondary level, at least one student (Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 71, Section 59C). The principal works with the council to identify the educational needs of the students attending the school, review the annual school budget, and prepare a school improvement plan. The plan addresses issues such as professional development, student learning time, parent involvement, safety and discipline, and ways to meet the diverse learning needs of the students in the school.

Our council is scheduled to meet three times this school year with the meetings conducted in person from 2:35pm-3:35pm.
