Who we are

Every parent or guardian is automatically considered a member of the Mather Parent Council and is always encouraged to attend meetings, ask questions, share opinions, and work together for our children.  ​ We are here to support each other, all Mather kids, the principal, the teachers and the school.

What we do

The Mather Parent Council (MPC) is one of the most active and successful parent groups in BPS.  Its impact is felt throughout the school on a daily basis through both big and small efforts.  They've helped to organize annual events such as Winter Carnival and Spring Fling, and they have also combined their many talents and their efforts to impact the school in significant ways. 

Members of the Parent Council connect regularly with the Boston School Committee and have engaged in several letter writing campaigns to help retain funding to save teacher positions, as hire a librarian, and include sibling grandfathering in the new zoning plans.

Another accomplishment that has had a significant impact on school culture was the implementation of the school uniform policy.  Students now show their school pride and arrive at school ready to focus on learning.  The uniforms have helped to build a climate of solidarity and professionalism. 

how to get involved

Come to a meeting!  We usually meet the 3rd Thursday of each month in the Mather Library at 5:30 PM (some Saturday dates may be added this year).  Dinner is usually potluck, and child care is provided. Monthly Parent Council Meeting dates are posted on the School Calendar.
