School Description and Mission Statement 

This section provides information about the school’s goals and programs. 

The Eel River Charter School (ERCS) serves students K-8 in a safe school, with interdisciplinary, holistic, hands-on curriculum. The school was founded in 1994 by parents. Parents and community members continue to govern the school.

The Eel River Charter School’s mission statement was evaluated and re-written in 2006. The new mission statement is “Working with families in community through holistic teaching to develop educated, responsible, compassionate people.”

The goal of the Eel River Charter School is to engage parents/families in the educational process, thereby providing the support structure and overlapping spheres of influence necessary for students to attain an integrated perception of learning.

 

 
 
 

 

Opportunities for Parental Involvement 

This section provides information about opportunities for parents to become involved with school activities.  

  Parents commit to 2 parent work hours per week, per child enrolled at the school. ERCS runs on parent power: parents founded this school, and they form the final link in the chain of command. Depending on their interest, families choose how they will contribute. They do everything from administrative tasks (governing the school) to planning curriculum, teaching, facilities maintenance, cleaning facility, dumping garbage, yard duty, and general yard work. The parents are the main source of transportation for field trips. In 2006-2007 the parents from 33 families contributed  four thousand three hundred and nineteen (4319) hours.

Parent involvement benefits the students: not only do the children see the pieces of their lives come together in coherence, but also they recognize a measure of their own worth in their parents’ efforts. Students see that education is important because their parents invest time in their school. When parents walk into their child’s school, that child feels excited, proud, and loved.
