Open Committees
PACT Panthers PTO
The PACT Panthers PTO (Parent-Teacher Organization) exists to strengthen, enhance, and encourage the educational and social environment of PACT Charter School. Its goal is to complement the school curriculum with additional opportunities for parents, teachers, and students to learn, socialize, communicate, and grow.
All PACT stakeholders are encouraged to get involved!
Special Ed Advisory Council
The primary purpose of the Special Education Advisory Council (SEAC) is to provide a forum for parents and staff to share ideas, identify concerns, and advise the school, in order to improve services along with educational and extracurricular opportunities for children with disabilities.
Teacher members appointed by the Administration and open to all parents of PACT. The state of MN mandates the council include parents of students with disabilities.
Wellness Administrative Team
The primary purpose of the Wellness Team is to support a healthy school environment by promoting a positive learning environment, healthy eating, and regular physical activity. Our school believes that providing a healthy environment where children learn and participate in positive wellness practices optimizes student potential for academic performance and contributes positively to their self-esteem.
