Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year!
The School Council is an important advisory group to the school. In collaboration with the staff and students of Queensdale, School Council organizes fundraisers and community events each year as well as offering support of student achievement, equity and well-being.
Parents and guardians are welcome and encouraged to get involved and can learn more about Queensdale School Council roles and responsibilities in our Bylaws (link below). All of our meetings are open for all to join in. There are multiple ways to get involved with the School Council so parents can take part in a way that their schedules allow.
Parents and guardians can join as an elected member, with a commitment to attend monthly meetings and the ability to vote on motions. These elections take place at the first meeting of each school year.
Parents/guardians can also participate as a general/non-voting member. These members come to meetings and take part in the discussion but are not eligible to vote and regular attendance isn’t required. This could also include group chats/emails discussing event planning and preparations.
A third option for involvement is to volunteer at events and activities throughout the year. Anyone interested in being involved can reach out to the Queensdale main office or directly to the School Council chair at [email protected]. Please note: for some types of volunteer opportunities, a current police check is required.
