ROLE OF THE COUNCIL?
- We serve as an advisory group to the principal. We offer perspective, suggestions, and raise concerns on any issue related to the operation and programs of the school.
- We raise money to offer or enhance a variety of programs at the school, e.g. hot lunch, playground equipment, family events, etc.
WHO IS A MEMBER? Every parent with a child registered at the school is a member. That means you are already a member.
WHO CAN ATTEND MEETINGS AND WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO VOTE? Every parent with a child registered at the school can attend meetings. Only voting members of the council (determined at the start of the school year) are eligible to cast votes on motions brought forward. Members of the general public are also welcome to attend but cannot vote.
WHEN ARE THE MEETINGS? Our meetings will be held at 6:00pm on the second Tuesday of every month.
WHY SHOULD A PARENT ATTEND? Student success at school is a cooperative effort between the home and school. The School Council is an excellent source of information and a forum for views to help with the delivery of the curriculum and school programs. Your involvement offers you insight and a say in your child’s education.
WHAT ROLES CAN PARENTS FILL THROUGH THE SCHOOL COUNCIL? Simply by attending the meetings you are filling a valuable role. As well, if you are interested, each September a new executive is elected: Co-Chairs (2), Treasurer, and Secretary as well as regular voting members. The council always needs volunteers to help with various programs and committees.
We have wonderful volunteers and parents who help make the year great. YOU TOO CAN HELP IN A MEANINGFUL WAY!
