School Council 2022 2023
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Every school in Ontario is required to have a School Council to work collaboratively with the principal to improve student achievement and to enhance accountability of the school with parents. Information about School Council can be found here: http://edu.gov.on.ca/eng/general/elemsec/council/council02.pdf
We welcome all parents/guardians who are willing to volunteer their time to participate on our School Council for the 2022-2023 school year. Typically, School Councils meet in person on a regular basis to discuss school-wide interests and to make recommendations to the principal, however, this year, due to the Public Health considerations, meetings will be held virtually.
School Councils must hold annual elections to identify voting members and various positions such as School Council Chair. Elected members vote on School Council matters and represent the group’s ideas and advisory suggestions for the Principal. Please note that you do not have to be an elected member of School Council to attend meetings. All meetings are open to all parents/guardians who wish to attend.
To declare you interest to become an elected member on School Council, please complete the nomination form below. You may also nominate another parent/guardian of a student at our school to become an elected School Council member. All nomination forms must be received by September 28, 2022. Please note that you must attend our first meeting on September 29, 2022 at 6:00 in order to be elected to Council. Our first meeting will be at the Guy Brown Learning Commons.
Please consider joining us on School Council as an elected or general member. School Council involvement is a great way to support your child’s education and we look forward to working together.
