Family Life Committee for Calvert County Public Schools Calvert County Public Schools (CCPS) is establishing a joint Family Life Committee of educators who work in CCPS and community representatives who reside in Calvert County for the purpose of reviewing and commenting on, and where appropriate, recommending instructional materials. Members will serve for a one-year term. The Family Life Committee will meet on the 2nd Monday of each month, January through May, at 6 PM. At the initial meeting, the purpose, expectations, and the process for reviewing materials will be reviewed. Following full group sessions, the committee may divide into an elementary and a secondary committee, where specific family life instructional materials will be reviewed and discussed. CCPS is asking for any community member or parent residing in Calvert County to consider serving on this committee. Eight community members and parents representing elementary and secondary schools will be randomly selected. An official notification will be sent to those who are selected by September 20. If you are interested in serving on the Family Life Committee, please complete the survey on this form: https://forms.office.com/r/DkdFYy9nsn by August 30.
