Shawsheen-West PAC



Please note: Due to a scheduling conflict our May meeting date has changed to Monday, May 17. We hope you'll join us for the last PAC meeting of the 2020-2021 school year! 

What is PAC?

The Shawsheen/West Parent Advisory Council is made up of every parent with children in our schools. We are ALL the PAC and we want to give our children the best education possible. 

The PAC helps achieve this through fundraising. Over the past few years, the PAC helped purchase Chromebooks and carts for each floor of the Shawsheen and West schools. The PAC covers the cost of other technology needs, including media and audio equipment. The PAC also purchases everyday supplies for students. Most of the PAC’s funds go directly to enhancing your child’s education. 

The enrichment programs they enjoy so much are also paid for through the PAC’s fundraising efforts. Students have learned about dinosaur fossils, owls, even levers, pulleys and gears to name a few programs. 

As a member of the PAC, you may vote at the monthly meetings, and be involved in the decision-making process for all PAC events. PAC meetings are monthly and are announced on our Facebook page.
