Seniors volunteering at the Riverside Food Bank. A trip to the LA County Arboretum. Walking through the flower fields in Carlsbad. Touring the USS Midway in San Diego.

Method understands the impact a connected parent community has on student achievement and plans are underway to involve parents in creating opportunities to build that community. Method School's Parent Advisory Committee seeks to provide a connection between parents and the school community. With the support of Method Schools, the Parent Advisory Committee will act as a liaison between the parent voice and the school for the benefit of all learners. With plans to meet once every other month, PAC members will interface with Method staff and leadership to plan events and opportunities to help parents feel best supported.
If you're interested in participating, please submit an application below! PAC members will be selected over the summer to start planning for the next school year.
