Parent involvement is an important part of school success.  When parents share their time and talents for the benefit of the students and school, everybody wins.  There are many opportunities for our parents to be involved at St. Alexander School. Parent participation is strongly encouraged and greatly appreciated.

Want to get involved?  Contact one of the committee heads listed below, or CLICK HERE to see the current volunteer opportunities avaliable.

School Board
A parochial school board is a body whose members are:
●Selected to participate in decision-making in specific and designated areas of responsibility.
            A parish school is part of the educational mission of the parish for which the pastor is the canonical  administator.  He delegates, according to diocesan policy, administrative responsibilities to the school principal, who is accountable to him.
●In the Diocese of Joliet, school boards are Consultative in nature.
            A consultative board operates in the policy-making process by formulating and adopting, but never enacting policy.
What the School Board is not
●The parochial school board does not act as grievance committee.
●It does not hire, evaluate, or terminate faculty members.
●The board does not administer the school. It does not tell the principal how to administer the school; rather it gives direction through policy.
●The board does not regulate the instructional program or involve itself in matters of curriculum.

Each school board member acts as a liason to another committee include Marketing, Fundraising, Athletics Association, Parents’ Association, Publicity, and the Alumni Association.  Together, representatives from each of these committees work together to help each other explore opportunities and ideas to grow our school.  The future of our school is of utmost importance to the entire St. Alexander School Family.  Those on the School Board closely examine opportunities to grow and enhance our wonderful school.
