What is a School Community Council?
Think of the School Community Council (SCC) as the bridge between your home and the school classroom. It is an elected committee made up of parents, teachers, and the principal who work together to make important decisions that directly impact our students' education.
As a parent, your voice on the council is incredibly powerful—in fact, by law, parents make up the majority of the council!
What Does the Council Actually Do?
- Allocates Funding: We decide exactly how to spend our school's annual Trust Land funds (money given to schools to improve student achievement). Whether it's hiring reading specialists, purchasing new technology, or funding STEM programs, the council decides where that money goes.
- Shapes School Safety: We review and build plans for digital citizenship (safe internet use) and safe walking routes for students.
- Advises the Principal: We provide direct feedback on school academic goals, community concerns, and student needs.
Why Your Voice Matters
Every child deserves an environment where they can thrive, and no one knows what our kids need better than you. Serving on or attending SCC meetings is your chance to have a seat at the table where real budgets are decided and school policies are shaped.
Join us! All parents are welcome to attend our monthly meetings, share ideas, or run for a council seat during our fall elections. Look out for our meeting schedule on the school website.
