SESSA is currently looking for parents and community members to volunteer to join the SESSA Board of Directors for the 2023-2024 school year.
SESSA is a parent and community member led board of directors. While SESSA has professional staff to lead and run the day-to-day programming, a small board of Shepherd Elementary parents and community members oversees the organization, its staff and operations. The board is critical to the success of the program!
The board provides essential functions such as:
- Financial oversight, growth, health and sustainability
- Staff hiring and retention for program management and operations
- Professional staff training and development
- Collaboration with Shepherd ES administration and DCPS officials to advocate on behalf of SESSA
- Oversight and investment of SESSA curriculum and enrichment programs such as chess, soccer, dance and robotics
- Ensuring Shepherd Elementary students have a safe, educational, inclusive and fun before-school and after-school experience
The time commitment is minimal, approximately 2 hours a month at most.
Help us keep the program running! We greatly need more board members to join in the coming year. Without parent or community member involvement there is no Star Achievers. We would especially like to encourage parents of younger students to join so you can have a day in the growth and development of SESSA as your child ages through the school.
Will you consider joining today? Please reach out to the SESSA Board of Directors for more information and an application at sessaboard@gmail.com.
Fun fact: you don’t have to be a Shepherd parent to join. Aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, neighbors or Shepherd ES alums are all welcome to join.
Thank you for your continued support and consideration!
