The John Muir PTC

Community

The Parent Teach Collective exists to create a respectful community of mutual support and open and direct communication between families and with the school staff.  It operates in an atmosphere of respect, responsiveness, inclusion, service and joy to provide support for the learning environment and to respond to the needs of community members.  Activities sponsored by the Collective strive to invite and include all of the families and staff of John Muir School.

Sustainability

A dynamic organization, the Parent Teacher Collective makes decisions cognizant of the need to sustain itself, but also to provide a model of social and environmental awareness.  Goals and activities are balanced to positively impact and enhance stewardship of the natural world, the intra-community network and social justice and harmony with a focus within the community and local environment.

Stewardship

All members of the Parent Teacher Collective recognize and accept their role of stewards of the community.  The atmosphere of the organization is one of responsible actions.  Members volunteer according to their time and ability to benefit the John Muir School community.  The Collective responds to needs of staff, students and families, proactively addresses issues that affect the school or community members and follows-though with decisions in a timely and responsive manner.
