UPDATE – Templemead School Council Nominations and Elections

Dear Parents & Caregivers,

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 and caregivers. Information about School Councils can be found here:

Ministry of Education Ontario: School Councils – A Guide for Members

We welcome all parents and caregivers who are willing to volunteer their time to participate on our School Council for the 2023-2024 school year. Typically, School Councils meet in person on a regular basis to discuss school-wide interests and to make recommendations to the principal; there may be occasions however, when we may meet 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 and caregivers who wish to attend.

To declare your interest to become an elected member of School Council, please click on and complete the following online nomination form.  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 submitted by Friday October 20th, 2023 in order to be elected to Council. Our first meeting of this school year will be held in the school library on Wednesday October 25th, 2023 from 6:00 PM until 7:00 p.m.

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.

Sincerely,

L. Blaine – Co-Chair

G. Williamson – Principal

L. Murray – Vice Principal
