School Councils have a unique role to play in bringing parents and schools together in partnership.  As parents and community members themselves, School Council members provide an important bridge between school staff, parents, home and school associations, and other parent groups that are active within our school community.

Our meetings are the first Monday in every month from 7:00 - 8:00 pm and align with staff and board meetings to ensure a timely sharing of information.  As parents, we are present to provide input to the principal on various issues.  Attending council also allows you to become aware of board of education guidelines, practices and proposals.  We discuss issues facing staff and students, such as upcoming school presentations, testing, etc.  School Council is also a way for you to keep in touch with school administration and to keep up to date on what is going on within the school.

Our School Council has applied for a Parents Reaching Out Grant to support the transition of grade 7 and 8 students to Almonte and District High School in September 2012.

We hope to see you at our School Council meetings this year.   The schedule for the 2011-2012 school year is as follows:
