Elementary School
Get Involved
Parents are encouraged to actively participate in the education of their child. A child’s success in school is best assured when the school and the home collaborate their efforts. Parent involvement in a child’s school gives the message to students that education is an important community effort. It also provides youngsters with a strong model for civic and community involvement as adults. Here are just a few ways that you can get involved at school.
Attend School Wide Activities and Events
Silver Oak Elementary School hosts many activities and events throughout the school year where parents and families are welcome. Keep up with what's happening at school by regularly visiting the Parent Hub.
Subscribe to our school calendar so you don't miss a thing!
Volunteer Your Time
There are many ways you can support your child’s school by volunteering your time:
- In the classroom. Contact your child's teacher(s) to find out how you can help.
- In the school library. Contact the school's library media assistant to find out how you can help.
- Assist with school fundraisers. Our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) offers many opportunities to get involved. Join the Silver Oak PTO.
- Work as a Yard Supervisor. We may have openings for paid and voluntary yard supervisors during lunch. Contact the school office for more information.
Participate in School Councils and Advisory Committees
School Site Council (SSC)
Every school is required to establish a School Site Council staffed by teachers, parents, and classified employees. These councils generally either drive decisions or advise the principal. Learn more about Silver Oak's SSC.
English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC)
ELAC is a committee comprised of parents, staff, and community members specifically designated to advise school officials on English Learner program services. Additional information about ELAC can be found on the California Department of Education's ELAC website.
Watch for school news announcements or contact the school office about opportunities to participate on SSC and ELAC.

Parents and community members are always welcome to attend pubic board meetings and to provide input. Minutes of each Board meeting are a matter of public record and are posted online in the Agenda and Minutes Archive.
