What is the PAC?

The Hyalite Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is an organization run by parents and guardians who work to partner with our school and community to enrich and enhance our children’s educational experience at Hyalite Elementary School.

To accomplish these goals, the Hyalite PAC seeks volunteer support from community and families as well as conducts fundraisers with proceeds spent on:

• Classroom enrichment grants including funding for field trips, unique experiences, and classroom materials.
• Community building through free and low-cost family events and programs such as family movie night.
• Parent education, outreach, and speaker presentations through newsletters and Parent PAC Meetings.
• School improvement in curriculum (art, language, STEAM) and facilities (playground equipment, sculptures, and more).
• Outreach to families in need through food drives, gift cards, snack donations, and more.
