Nativity Catholic School Commission
School Commission Involvement
Nativity Catholic School Commission’s role is to serve as a consultative body for the pastor and administration on matters concerning schools and faith formations. An attitude of teamwork, cooperation, unity and mutual respect aid in designing policies, monitoring plans and communicating the mission of the school.
Our School Commission is comprised of members who are also members of other school committees. Each committee has its own set of goals. Achievement of these goals ensures the mission of the school will successfully continue.
We invite members of the parish and school community to share their talents in their area of expertise or interest. Attached is a table describing the responsibilities & goals and recent activities & results of these committees.
If you see an area of expertise or interest, please note it on your Stewardship Card this fall or contact the committee representative listed.
