ABOUT SCHOOL COUNCIL
Council Graphic 2022-23.pdf
- School Council is a great way to be part of decisions that directly affect your child(ren)’s school experience.
- We’re all volunteers – parents, guardians, and teachers. The most important thing to know is that we invite everyone to participate.
- At our meetings, you have a chance to connect directly with the Principal, Vice Principal, and Teacher Representative.
- At each meeting Council receives a staff report/update on school announcements, activities, challenges, goals, etc. and we have an opportunity to discuss as a group.
- There is zero pressure. We're happy to include everyone, however it works for your family. This could be attending meetings, or just helping with one activity, or even just filling in an input survey.
- Please join our "Friends Of Council" mailing list to stay in touch and learn more. Email us anytime at [email protected].
2022: Our New, More Flexible Approach:
- We want to make this easier.
- Sometimes attending a Council Meeting, even virtually, is not the only way to get involved.
- We have adapted our input and voting approach, shifting it to an online "Google Form" method.
- This means even if you can't attend every meeting, you can still participate as a "Voting Member" to vote or provide input via email, rather than only at meetings.
- Voting Members make decisions on what to raise money for, what to spend it on, which activities to support.
- Members can join anytime during the year, if agreed by Council.
- Even if Voting Member doesn't work for you, you can still join the email list as a "Friend of Council" to provide regular input and receive meeting invitations and materials.
- You may also have a special skill or community connection that you can share, without joining Council in any formal way.
