What is PSC (Program Site Council)?

The Program Site Council (PSC) at Phoenix is a volunteer organization responsible for organizing community-building events like the annual Fall Festival, fundraising for critical programs such as field trips, supporting classroom education through enrichments and selectives, facilitating campus safety and parent training, and so much more!

The PSC is made up of countless parent volunteers that invest their valuable resources, time, and talent to make Discovery Charter School a place that fosters student growth.

Whether it is through helping a teacher in the classroom, teaching an enrichment course, uplifting a student at the playground, or ensuring campus safety during drop-off and pick-up, Discovery Charter School relies on parent volunteers to help the school run the way it does.

How does PSC differ from a Partnership Role?

A “partnership role” is a volunteer area a parent is requested to take on in addition to volunteering in the classroom. Some partnership roles occur as a one-time event (e.g. Fall Festival or Spring Auction coordinator), whereas other partnership roles are year-round (classroom coordinator or teaching an enrichment). The PSC provides an infrastructure to organize and support many of these partnership roles. Serving as a PSC officer is simply another partnership role. There are 8 officer positions on the PSC. Officers are responsible for overseeing specific functions and often working with other parents in their respective partnership roles. Due to this additional responsibility, PSC officers are elected on an annual basis and typically serve a term of 2 years.
