POCS Parents meet the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6:00 PM
POCS asks that parents attend at least 6 Parent Club meetings during the year and this goes towards your parent hours too! These meetings keep you informed, build relationships with staff and other parents, and give you an opportunity to help decide what the group does.

A motion was made and seconded to approve the cost of the gold level of service. The motion carried. It was suggested that we try to get a month’s free trial for the gold level service prior to purchasing.
