School Council

School Council

There are a variety of ways to become involved in the school community and School Council and Fundraising Society meetings are one such avenue.  

School Council is a parent group that meets in the evening at 6:00pm once a month in the school library (Learning Commons).

Fundraising Society meetings typically follow after the conclusion of the School Council meeting, and we make plans to use funds raised to enhance student learning and engagement at École Joe Clark School. 

All parents/guardians in attendance as well as the elected Executive members, who hold positions, have an opportunity to share their ideas to continue make École Joe Clark School a wonderful place to work and learn!

School Councils play a vital role in connecting the school with the community, allowing parents to actively participate in decisions that impact student learning.  They also provide valuable advice to principals and school boards, contributing to the overall improvement of educational outcomes.  School Councils serve as a crucial bridge, allowing parents to actively participate in decisions that impact student learning. By collaborating with the school community, school councils enhance student learning experiences. 

Parents can contribute their skills, knowledge, and perspectives to benefit not only their own children but also the entire school community. 

New families are welcome to attend either meeting to learn more about our school community. Whether you attend one meeting or many, your participation is valued. 

There is no commitment required to take on an official role; this is an excellent opportunity for you to engage in school goals and have a voice in your child’s education. 

Please join us! 

If you are interested in helping out or volunteering in any way, big or small, please contact the school and we can provide you with more information.   All school Volunteers are required to provide a Criminal Record / Vulnerable Sector Check and sign FSD Volunteer forms. Please come to the office and we can provide you with the Volunteer package information.  

See the “resources” section below for Monthly Agendas and Monthly Minutes from the meetings
