Parent Activity Committee

Parent Activity Committee

The Meritor Academy Parent Activity Committee (PAC) is a nonprofit organization made up of parents that work throughout the school year to enrich an interactive and supporting environment for families, students, and the school. This organization shall be operated exclusively for educational and charitable purposes, specifically, to encourage the communication and participation among families, the community, and school. The PAC sponsors family/school activities and fundraising events to enrich our children's environment, education and growth at the Meritor Academy in North Andover, MA.

The PAC is only successful when parents, families, and staff work together by attending PAC meetings, volunteering for committees/events, supporting fundraising programs and being involved in the education and well being of the Meritor students.

The Meritor Academy Parent Activity Committee is open to all Meritor Academy parents, guardians and staff. Typically, the PAC meets one evening every month.

Watch for school flyers, email and bulletin boards for more information.
