Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

Welcome to Garmisch Elementary/Middle School (GEMS)! We invite YOU to support GEMS' educational and activity programs by becoming a member of our Parent Teacher Association (PTA).  It is a great way to contribute to the school community. Meetings are open for everyone. Come out and see how you can help.

School Advisory Committee (SAC).

The purpose of the SAC is to advise and act as a sounding board for the principal on matters effecting the operation of the school. The SAC will be a forum to discuss school issues, and will promote communication and the necessary link between the school principal, parents, and the larger community.
The committee shall provide advice and assistance to the principal regarding and including:

  • school policies towards students and parents, student activities, and administrative procedures affecting students, including acting as a hearing committee for any individual or group that may want to propose additions to or change in school policy.
  • coordinating all community resources in a concerted effort to support the education program of the school
  • providing a forum for the discussion of school achievements, concerns and other school related matters
  • disseminating information about the school
  • people services (health, special education, testing, evaluation, counseling, and extra curricular activities)
  • student standards of conduct and discipline

The voting members of the committee include two parent members and two professional educator members. Voting members will serve a term of two years. Liaisons of the School Advisory Committee include: the school principal, transportation officer, garrison commander, and the youth services director.
