Looking for a way to make a difference in your child’s education and get involved at his or her school? Look no further. No matter how much time you have to give — a few hours at a single event or a few hours each week — all parent involvement is valued and needed!

Other (non-council) Committees at the School
Much as we want to keep all the volunteers for ourselves, you should also be aware that there are three other school committees, outside of the council and led by teachers or a member of administration, which require two parent representatives each. Contact council chair Jerry Tiessan if you are interested in joining one of these.
- Staffing Committee: develops and proposes a staffing model based on projected enrolment and staff allocation
- Equity Committee: raises awareness, increases knowledge and develops skills to challenge racism, sexism, ethnocentrism, homophobia, classism, ageism and discrimination against persons with disabilities
- Safe Schools Committee reviews the school’s safety and security and develops a plan to maintain and enhance safety and security within the school
