What is the Thornton Creek Parent Group ?
The Thornton Creek Parent Group (TCPG) is a non-profit organization that supports the programs and staff at Thornton Creek Elementary School in Seattle, WA. The TCPG provides this support, in part, through its fundraising efforts. All funds raised by the TCPG are managed by the parent group and used almost exclusively to support Thornton Creek Elementary School. Learn more.
What is Site Council?
The Thornton Creek Site Council (SC) is the school’s longest running collaborative governing body, comprised of administration, staff, and parents. In recent years, the school has formed a Building Leadership Team (BLT) which collaborates with Site Council. In Site Council, we make decisions collaboratively, and parents are able to participate in discussing important school matters. Learn more.
Site Council includes many parent-led committees behind key community activities and resources at the school:
- Sends regular newsletter
- Organizes enrichment activities after school
- Supports and/or organizes community events
- Picnics
- Talent Show
- Bazaar
- Family Dance Night
- Fundraisers
- Sports Activities Night
- Science Fair
SC meets monthly, usually on the second Tuesday of every month and all parents are welcome (childcare is provided). Every level of parent involvement is appreciated and valued at Thornton Creek!
Site Council includes all of TC’s parents/caregivers, staff and administrators. The Site Council board is made up of elected parent/caregiver officers, as well as staff representatives.
