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
