Meeting Minutes
Dates for Eckville Elementary School Council meetings will be posted on the school calendar each month and shared on social media. Everyone is welcome to attend!
Role of School Council:
Consult with the principal to ensure students have opportunities to meet Ministry standards, fiscal management is sound and the community's expectations are taken into consideration during school-based planning.
- Advise the principal and the school board
- Consult with other school councils and provincial organizations
- Communicate information to the school community
- Focus on the best interests of all students
What School Councils are Not:
It is important to be mindful, that as with all partners in education, there are limits to the work that can be done by a Parent Council. Roles that are not to be taken on by a Parent Council include:
- School governance
- Employment issues
- School management
- Listening to complaints
- It is not the primary role of school councils to fundraise or lobby
We would like to thank those who attend our meetings and encourage parents/ guardians of EES students to attend our meetings.
Membership:
Membership of Parent Council shall consist of the following:
- Parents/Guardians of students enrolled in Eckville Elementary School
- Principal of the school
- School staff representative
