2025-2026 School Council
Do you want to know what’s happening at school, share ideas, and connect with other parents? Join us at School Council! We meet a few times a year, and every parent/guardian is welcome—it’s your chance to stay involved and make a difference. Dates and times will be shared after our first meeting on September 16th from 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm in the Learning Commons.
Our main goals as the School Council are as follows:
Support Student Achievement & Well-Being – Encourage initiatives and ideas that help students succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.
Strengthen the Home–School Connection – Build strong relationships between parents, staff, and the school community.
Increase Accountability & Transparency – Provide a parent voice in school priorities, planning, and decision-making.
Encourage Parent Engagement – Create opportunities for families to get involved in school life in ways that work for them.
Advise the Principal & School Board – Share feedback and recommendations to help improve the school environment and overall education experience.
