- 8. WriZen Comments Parents Said … (Money) HSC Response Not just raise money For those are on financial assistance, directories and membership should be free. I am excluded every year due to lack of funds. Sad. Always seems to be looking for money. Confusing with all the other enKKes looking for money. I want my financial contribuKons to go directly to the Los Gatos school that my children aZend, not to a general fund for all LG schools. We hear you! We need to be more clear about this, and also communicate the many other things we do besides raise money. Please contact us! We can also offer financial assistance. HSC funds go ONLY to Los Gatos High School and directly benefit students.
- 9. WriZen Comments Parents Said … (Directory) HSC Response Parents Said … (Club Antude) HSC Response The directory comes out way too late in the school year. Feels like an organizaKon stuck in the past The student directory wasn't published unKl spring last school year. Doesn't seem inclusive, especially to working parents. Seems more like a cliquey women's social group. We will do our best to get the directory out sooner this year. We are looking to improve, get more people involved, be more progressive and inclusive.
