Utilization of parent input is offered through a number of forums including site and community booster organization groups to ensure a diverse representation. These groups allow for on-going dialogue to take place between school staff and parents. These groups include all of the following below.
SART
School Assessment and Review Team (SART): meets monthly during the school year to assess and review effectiveness of policies, procedures, programs and curriculum/textbook adoption, which are in place or proposed at Woods Elementary. In March, CUSD conducts the annual SART Survey. This survey solicits parent opinion on curricular, co-curricular, technology, and other issues facing the district. SART is the only body entitled to process these surveys; the compiled results are shared with the community.

Opportunities to Get Involved and Volunteer
Parent Involvement at Woods Elementary
At Woods Elementary, there are a variety of exciting ways parents can get involved. Parents can join the School Assessment and Review Team, the School Site Council, or the Parent Teacher Club. Family members can also volunteer in the library, in the classroom, or in the “Snack Shack”! To become a volunteer, one must follow the guidelines in Board Policy 9212 which includes the completion of an electronic volunteer application and a current clear TB assessment/skin test.
Please, click the link below to visit the Parent Volunteer page of the CUSD website to access the volunteer application. Should you have any questions, please contact the Woods Elementary Office at (559) 327-8800.

Parent-Teacher Club
Each elementary and intermediate school in the district has a Parent Club organization. The primary purpose of a school's Parent Club is to assist teachers in providing a quality educational experience for all students by sponsoring student/parent fundraising events. Please, click the link below to visit the Parent Teacher Club page.
School Assessment Review Team (S.A.R.T.)
Each school in the Clovis Unified School District has a S.A.R.T. Committee. The S.A.R.T. Committee does not duplicate or assume the functions of other school organizations such as the School Site Council or the Parent Club. Rather, the S.A.R.T. Committee is concerned about the overall operation of the school. It serves as a community forum for communication and assessment of the school programs and as an advisory body to the principal.
School Site Council (SSC)
The SSC is composed of parents, students at the secondary level and school personnel and is responsible for developing, implementing and evaluating the Single Plan for Student Achievement programs. Members serve for two years and are elected by their peers. For more detailed information please visit >>
