School Council is an excellent way for parents to get involved in their child’s education. It's an opportunity to coordinate volunteer programs, learn about the current issues in education in order to provide feedback, and most importantly, continue to build a strong home/school partnership for the success of our students.
School Councils are collective associations of parents, teachers, secondary students, principals, staff and community representative(s) who work together to effectively support and enhance student learning. They provide one means for members of the school community to provide advice and consult with the principal and to advise the board or the charter board.
The School Council is an active member of the Alberta School Council Association. Through this membership, our school council ensures that the voice of our school community is heard on a provincial level.
