School Councils are at the heart of our school communities. By bridging the gap between home and the classroom, you play a vital role in driving student success and keeping our education system accountable, transparent, and deeply connected to families.
Under Regulation 612 of the Education Act, every school is paired with a Council to ensure parent voices are woven into the fabric of our schools.
Our Shared Commitment
Every parent and caregiver belongs here. We encourage our Councils to cultivate warm, inclusive spaces where everyone feels safe, valued, and respected. Because engagement looks different for every family, we invite our Councils to work alongside us to:
- Elevate Voices: Create welcoming avenues for families to share their unique perspectives and expertise.
- Build Connections: Foster strong, collaborative relationships that break down traditional barriers to getting involved.
- Remove Obstacles: Actively identify and clear the path so every caregiver can fully participate.
- Advance Equity: Challenge exclusionary practices to ensure an equitable environment regardless of race, class, background, ability, or language.
