Parent Advisory Council

Every year, we invite new members to join our Special Education Parent Advisory Council (PAC) at Rising Tide Charter Public School. Our membership is open to parents (or guardians) of children with special needs and anyone interested in special needs education. The Parent Advisory Council acts as a resource for families, providing support, networking and information about disabilities and the special education process.

The goal of Rising Tide's PAC is to encourage open communication, understanding and mutual respect among all students, parents, and the greater community. We aim to provide a helpful network for parents including access to current resources, training, and emotional support.

Family Resource Group

The Family Resource Group at Rising Tide was developed to provide parents a network within the community that meets together a few times throughout the year to discuss issues our students experience during their time in middle school and high school. We align topics with our Upper School Wellness Curriculum because of the importance of each subject, but also because of the frequency in which these subjects come up throughout the academic school year. We aim to present information objectively and to allow an opportunity for parents to ask questions in a structured and comforting environment.

2014 Italy Trip

Rising Tide will be hosting another trip to Italy!  The trip will take place during February vacation of 2014, and will be available to students currently in seventh grade.Today I met with the students to speak about the trip and distribute applications.  The application is due to each student’s advisor on Tuesday, April 30, by 8:00 a.m.Acceptance for the trip to Rome will be based upon the student’s application, the student’s positive participation in Latin class, and the confidence that the school staff has that the student can uphold our Community Standards of Behavior here at school and in another country.Please note that no parent chaperones will travel with the group, as one of the goals of the trip is for our students to develop greater independence by the end of eighth grade. There will be an informational parent meeting on Wednesday, April 24, at 6:30 p.m. at the school.  I hope to see you there!
