School Advisory Council

The Grafenwöhr Elementary School Advisory Council (SAC) is a group of elected parents and teachers who study issues and programs and make recommendations to school administrators and community officials about areas of concern.  Meetings are held every third Wednesday of the month and are open to all members of the community.  Parents may contact SAC members by calling the school office at 09641-83-7133.  Please visit the GES SAC page for further information and an opportunity for input.

Installation Advisory Committee

The Installation Advisory Committee (IAC) advises the installation commander on matters, including support, within the jurisdiction of the commander and applicable component command.  Representatives from our area schools, including both parents and professional school staff, meet at least four times a year.  The meeting dates are noted in the school newsletter that goes home bi-weekly.

School Home Community Partnership

The School Home Community Partnership (SHCP) is a DoDDS initiative designed to provide meaningful involvement and participation of parents and the total community in promoting the social, emotional and academic growth of children.  At Grafenwöhr Elementary School, we strive to support this concept in all aspects of school life.  PTSA, SAC, FAST, SILT, PESA, Red Cross Volunteers and other activities are part of this effort.  We have a SHCP committee whose mission is to provide guidance and suggestions to reinforce collaboration between the school, parents and community.  We welcome your ideas and involvement.  Please call the school office at 09641-83-7133.

School Improvement Leadership Team

The School Improvement Leadership Team (SILT) is a guidance committee comprised of three parents, three teachers and the school principal that help guide school improvement efforts.  The SILT meets monthly, usually in conjunction with the SAC on alternating months.  Please contact the school office at 09641-83-7133 for information regarding the next meeting date.

School Volunteering Opportunities

Grafenwöhr Elementary School is blessed with an active group of parent and community visitors and volunteers.  It is our belief that everyone involved in the volunteer program benefits the school, teachers and, most importantly, the students.  Volunteers are valued supporters in all school settings, especially the classrooms and Information Center.  Many volunteers read to and with students daily. The American Red Cross provides optional training for volunteers.  Parents and community members who wish to volunteer and/or receive training may call the school office at 09641-83-7133 for further information.
