| Parental & Community Information |
| Lowell is fortunate in having parents who take an active interest in matters
concerning the school. In past years, their support has insured that Lowell
remains a non-districted, academic high school. All parents are urged to
participate and contribute to the educational decisions that will shape
Lowell in years to come. |

| PTSA: The Lowell Parent Teacher Student Association |
| The Lowell PTSA is committed to promoting a closer relationship among
parents, faculty, staff, and students and to enhancing the educational
opportunities of the students. Through general membership meetings, the
PTSA provides a forum for dealing with issues that may affect the
instructional program of the school. On-going matters of interest are
discussed with the Principal at monthly meetings of the Executive Board.
Five hundred of PTSA's 1,200+ members participate on 30 committees that
oversee the following: a college/career multi-media center (VICCI);
parent/student presentations by 120 private colleges, UC, CSU, and S.F.
City College; the Book-to-Book Center; drug/health education; a parent
handbook and newsletter and 8th grade recruitment and testing. The PTSA
also sponsors two school clean-up days and parents sit on the Site Advisory
Council. The Academic Affairs Committee works with the administration and
teachers to provide a supportive academic atmosphere. |
