School Site Council

Ceiba's School Site Council meets regularly.

The theme for this year's Council work is "Always Safe, Always Engaged, Always Learning."

We will post Site Council Agendas in the area below. All are welcome to attend meetings, and information on how to safely attend -- whether in person or via phone/teleconference -- will be included in the agenda for each meeting.

Meeting Videos are posted to our Youtube Channel's SSC Playlist following each meeting.
