Your Input and Particiaption Matters at Halkin
The Halkin Elementary School Site Council, or SSC, brings families, teachers, staff, and school leadership together to help guide important decisions that support student learning and the overall success of our school.
Our goal is to ensure school priorities, programs, and resources reflect the needs of our students and community.
SSC meetings are open to the public. Families, staff, and community members are welcome and encouraged to attend.
