What is the PSSC?

In general terms, the Parent School Support Committee (PSSC) is to review, discuss, and make recommendations on issues that impact the education of our children, their safety, and school performance.  The PSSC, as representatives of the Evergreen Park School (EPS) parents and guardians, work with the EPS Administration, District 2, and the District Education Council (DEC) to ensure the successful development of our children, our school, and our community.

The goal of the EPS PSSC is to maximize the educational experience for all students at EPS.
